1. Introduction
This manual describes how to install and set up the NHRC-4/M2 repeater controller. This manual
should be used in conjunction with the NHRC-4 Operating Manual, which describes the
programming and operation of the controller.
2. Installation
This section of the User Guide describes the electrical interfaces used to connect the
controller to:
• Power and primary repeater (the GE MASTR II),
• Link/Remote Base radio
• Communications Specialists TS-64 CTCSS Encoder/Decoder
• Optional NHRC-DAD digital audio delay board(s).
It is intended for the repeater operator to use in the planning and installation of the NHRC-
4/M2 Repeater Controller into a repeater system.
The controller is designed to be installed inside of a GE MASTR II mobile or station. The
controller is installed onto the connectors that GE intended for the “channel guard” board.
CTCSS is supported with an optional CommSpec TS-64. All of the controller’s signals, for
the primary and secondary radios, as well as the digital output are presented at either J908 or
J909.
2.1 Primary Radio Port Connections
The NHRC-4/M2 operates using the MASTR II as the "primary" radio. The primary radio
must operate in full-duplex mode. If your MASTR II is not already converted for full-duplex
operation, consult the NHRC WWW MASTR II Info-site Full Duplex Conversion for
duplexing information.
There are two options for interfacing the CAS and TX audio to the controller. These signals
do not normally appear on the P908 plug on the system board of the MASTR II. You can
either use an interface cable, or you can modify the
2.1.1 Option 1: Use an interface cable
Transmit audio and CAS appear on the controller at J1, a 3-pin header. Wire an interface
cable as shown in the table below:
J1 Connections

J902 #6
2 CAS
J904 #9
3 MIC LO
J902 #5

2.1.2 Option 2: Modify the MASTR II System Board.
By cutting one trace and adding two wires to the MASTR II system board, the jumper
described in option 1, above, can be avoided.
Add a wire that connects P908 pin 2 to J902 pin 6 (the exciter's MIC HI input). Cut the trace
that leads to P908 pin 3 on the system board, and add a wire that connects P908 pin 3 to
J904 pin 9 (the CAS signal from the IFAS board). Install 0 ohm resistors (jumpers) R22 and
R38 on the NHRC-4/M2 board, enabling the TX audio and CAS signals on the J908
connector. Note that these jumpers may already be populated on your board. If you plan on
using the local microphone on the MASTR II's control head, install a 1.5K resistor in
location R38.

2.2 Secondary Radio Port Wiring
The controller provides the secondary radio port on the F3 through F8 frequency select
leads, using the P909 connector. These leads are routed to the front panel control cable
connector on the systems board. In mobile MASTR II radios, these control lines are
sometimes subject to the installation of diodes and jumpers and cutting of traces to share
channel elements across more than one channel selection. These diodes and jumpers must be
removed, and the cut traces must be jumpered to for proper operation of the controller.
Consult the MASTR II service manual for information on these jumpers.
Dissecting an old control cable makes an easy job of attaching your secondary radio to the
MASTR II. In an E-chassis MASTR II, a bit of clever wiring in the systems board can allow
a repeater on the "top deck" and the secondary, remote-base radio on the "bottom deck".
In base stations and repeaters, the P909 connector is unused. Individual wires must be
attached to P909 to break out the secondary radio port.

4 Secondary port receiver audio F5 12
5 Secondary port transmitter audio F4 11
6 Digital output F3 10
7 no connection F2 9
8 Unused, ground to select F1 F1 8
It is extremely important that the radio attached to the secondary radio port be provided with
a common ground from the MASTR II. The "A-" lead (J901 pin 30) is a good spot. If this
common ground is not provided, erratic operation or distorted audio on the secondary radio
will result. Also note that the Secondary port CAS requires an active high signal. Consult the
NHRC-4/M2 Remote Base Breakout Application note for instructions on converting CAS
from active low if an active high signal cannot be supplied.

2.3 TS-32/TS-64 hookup
Connector JTS32 is a 7-pin header that allows the easy installation of an optional
Communications Specialists TS-32 or TS-64 for CTCSS decode, encode, CTCSS audio
filtering, and reverse-burst. (Reverse burst is only available with the TS-64.) Wire JTS32 to
the TS-32/TS-64 as follows:
JTS32 Connections
JTS32
Pin # TS-32
Signal Description
1 +V POWER +10 volts to CTCSS board
2 CTCSS DECODER INPUT receiver audio to CTCSS decoder
3 TO AUDIO FILTER INPUT receiver audio to audio filter input
(separate lead for TS-64)
4 FROM AUDIO FILTER OUTPUT filtered audio to controller
5 CTCSS DETECT decode signal from CTCSS decoder
See important warning below!
6 CTCSS ENCODER OUTPUT CTCSS tone to transmitter
7 - GROUND & HANG-UP Ground
WARNING:
DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE TO THE CTCSS DETECT INPUT!
This input is pulled low by the CTCSS decoder when CTCSS is NOT PRESENT. It will float high
when CTCSS is detected. Application of voltage to this input will destroy Q4 and render the
controller inoperative. Damage of this nature is not covered by the NHRC Limited Warranty.
The TS-32 and the TS-64 both have a high-pass filter to remove the CTCSS tone from the
repeated audio. By removing jumper JP3, the controller's audio can be passed through the
audio filter on the TS-32/TS-64.
Note: If the audio filter is not used, then jumper JP3 must be installed in order for audio to
be passed through the controller.
The Communications Specialists CTCSS boards are not supplied by NHRC. Contact
Communications Specialists at 800-854-0547 directly to order these boards.
2.3.1 TS-64 Notes
Consult the NHRC-4/M2 TS-64 Application note for detailed connection instructions.
The TS-64 has a reverse-burst/PTT delay feature that can be used with the NHRC-4/M2.
This feature is useful to eliminate the squelch crash received by the user's radio when the
repeater transmitter drops. Note that the user's radios must have CTCSS decoding enabled
for this to work. The NHRC-4/M2 provides support for the PTT delay through jumper JP4.
JP4 pin 1 is the controller's PTT signal, and JP4 pin 2 is PTT to the MASTR II. If the
reverse-burst/PTT delay feature is not used, then a jumper must be installed on JP4 so the
controller can key the MASTR II.

NHRC-4/M2 User Guide
Page 6 Copyright 2001, 2005, NHRC LLC. All Rights Reserved.
Adjust the CTCSS deviation with R20 on the TS-64 board, with the "CG LEVEL" pot on
the MASTR II exciter set to midrange. The ideal deviation for the CTCSS tone is 750 Hz.
Consult the TS-64 INSTRUCTION SHEET for details on setting the CTCSS frequency and
the reverse burst.
2.3.2 TS-32 Notes
The TS-32 must have the JU-2 jumper cut. Use the OUT-2 signal from the TS-32 into the
CTCSS detect of the NHRC-4/M2. If you want to be able to disable the CTCSS
requirement, install a switch on the HANGUP lead. The TS-32 will supply CTCSS encode
tone to the exciter through the NHRC-4/M2.
Adjust the CTCSS deviation with the R29 on the TS-32 board, with the "CG LEVEL" pot
on the MASTR II exciter set to midrange. The ideal deviation for the CTCSS tone is 750 Hz.
Consult the TS-32 INSTRUCTION SHEET for details on setting the CTCSS frequency.

3. Installing the NHRC-4/M2 into the MASTR II
The controller installs in the MASTR II where the MASTR II "Channel Guard" board
normally belongs, plugged into the top of the systems board in the front of the radio. If you
have not already removed the Channel Guard board, do so now by pulling it straight up and
out of the radio. The NHRC-4/M2 installs with the component side of the board facing the
control head cable connector. Carefully line up the P908 (left side) and P909 (right side)
connectors with the pins on the system board. Push the board down firmly until the
connectors are right against the system board. The controller is now installed.
3.1 The LED Status Indicators
The NHRC-4 repeater controller is equipped with five status LEDS that aid in setup and
troubleshooting. There are green LEDs for each radio port that indicate that the controller
has getting a valid CAS (carrier operated switch) and, if a CTCSS decoder is connected, a a
valid CTCSS decode signal. The appropriate green LED should light when its receiver is
active, and, if a CTCSS decoder is present, the correct CTCSS tone is present. The yellow
LED indicates that a DTMF signal is being decoded on the primary receiver. This LED
should light for the entire duration that the DTMF signal is present on the primary receiver.
The red LED's indicates transmit. These LED will light when its respective transmitter is
transmitting.
The LEDS can be disabled to reduce the power consumption of the controller. Remove
jumper JP2 to disable the LEDS.
3.2 Installing the NHRC-DAD with the NHRC-4/M2
J2 Primary Radio DAD
J3 Secondary Radio DAD
Pin Use
1 +13.8 Volts to delay board
2 Audio to delay board
3 Audio from delay board
4 Ground/Audio Return
The audio delay for the primary radio simply plugs in to J2. The audio delay for the
secondary radio plugs in to J3. If the audio delay is not installed, a jumper between pins 2
and 3 of the port's delay connector must be installed, or the controller will not pass audio.
It is strongly recommended that the CTCSS filter be used, as described above, if both
CTCSS encode/decode and the audio delay are used.
See the Operation Instructions section on programming the flag bits to tell the controller the
delay is present.

3.3 Using the Digital Output
The NHRC-4 Repeater Controller has a digital output that can be used for various remote
control applications or to control a fan on the repeater's transmitter. The digital output is an
open-drain into a power MOSFET, which is capable of sinking quite a bit of current, but we
recommend a maximum load of about 500 mA. Use a relay to drive larger loads. The open-
drain output can be used to gate the HOOKSWITCH signal to a TS-32 or other CTCSS
decoder, to enable or disable CTCSS. Software allows the output to be enabled, disabled, or
pulsed. In fan control mode, this output will be turned on when the transmitter is turned on,
and turned off a programmable amount of time after the transmitter is turned off.
3.4 Adjusting the Audio Levels
Audio Level Adjustments
Potentiometer Use
VR1 Primary Receiver Level
VR2 Secondary Receiver Mix Level
VR3 Primary Receiver Mix Level
VR4 Beep Tone Mix Level
VR5 Primary Transmitter Master Level
VR6 Secondary Transmitter Master Level
Preset all potentiometers to midrange. Key a radio on the primary input frequency, send
some touch-tones, and adjust VR1 (the primary receiver level) until DTMF decoding is
reliably indicated by yellow LED D5.
Note: If VR1 is set too high, a crackling noise may be heard in the transmitted audio during
the hang time. Reduce the level set by VR1 until this noise goes away. Any repeated audio
level reduction caused by adjusting VR1 can be compensated for by adjusting VR3 (primary
receiver level) or VR5 (primary transmitter output level.)
The primary radio's transmit deviation is set with VR5 (the primary transmitter master level)
on the controller board and the transmitter's deviation/modulation control. The key to
properly adjusting these controls is to remember that the limiter in the transmitter is after
VR5 but probably before the transmitter's deviation/modulation control. The transmitter's
deviation/modulation control will set the actual peak deviation, and VR5 will set the level
into the transmitter. You do not want excessive limiting on normal speech going through the
repeater; it sounds bad and tends to "pump-up" background noise. On the other hand, some
limiting is desirable. An oscilloscope connected to the audio output of a receiver tuned to the
transmitter's frequency will show limiting as the audio gets "flat-topped" or clipped by the
limiter. Ideally, a 4.5KHz deviation signal input to the repeater should result in a 4.5 KHz
deviation output, and 5.5 KHz of input deviation should result in just under 5.0 KHz of
deviation out of the repeater. A service monitor (or two), deviation meter, and/or a signal
generator are necessary to do this job right.
The secondary radio's transmit deviation is set with VR2 (the secondary transmitter master
level). Enable the secondary transmitter, and adjust VR2 for proper transmit deviation,
similarly to VR5.

Enable the secondary receiver, and adjust VR6 for reasonable deviation on the enabled
transmitters when a signal is received on the secondary receiver.
Adjust VR4 (the beep level) to set the courtesy tone and CW tone level.
VR3 is used to set the primary receiver's audio mix level, and may not need to be adjusted
from midpoint.
