akd 2001 fitting ctcss board help

Post by mastercare »

Hi guys
ive just fitted a jabdog ctcss kit to my old but good akd 2001 hoping to use it on our local repeater...but i dont seem to be getting the ctcss tone out of the board...the circuit uses a FX315 tone encoder chip and a 1 meg resonator...i can scope the resonator fine and get a nice sine wave...but im not getting anything from the chip itself?
ive connected the tone output to the jn of the 2 resistors in the n/w of the rig as shown on the akd20001 ctcss mod page...all i get on the tone o/p is a dc level which i assume is comming from the rig its self...could i have a faulty chip? also would it be better to connect the tone o/p to diviation pot?
any suggestions please...
cheers
