Auto Mute for Scanners
 

Hello,

I have a PRO-2067 and a 30 watt VHF/UHF transmitter located close together
in a small car. Their trunk mounted antennas are also close together. I
need a device to disable the PRO-2067 when the transmitter is keyed. The
BC-780XLT has an accessory device AutoMute-780 that mutes the speaker when a
strong RF signal is detected nearby. However, I'm not sure muting the
speaker is enough to protect a scanner from overloading when a transmitter
is keyed next to it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mil.

Dave and Rob, thanks for your suggestions. I now have an idea of what to
build.

One more thought, if your transceiver has relay TR control you might check
to see if maybe the relay has some un-used contacts that could be used to
open the power to the scanner on xmit. RM~
