[arm-allstar] Interfacing into a Quantar

[Justin Reed]

William,

Have you previously used that port on the quantar for any thing else?

I have a tiny bit of experience with the Qantar/Quantro. I know you have to have the basic wildcard enabled. You also have to understand that the "COR" and "PTT" on that station are opto-isolated, so there are actually two pins for each. The COR will need one pin tied to positive voltage so the URI will complete the circuit when it pulls low, and the PTT will need one side grounded so the URI completes that circuit as well.

Regards,
Justin
