[App_rpt-users] DMK URI COS Level / Kenwood TKR-850

[REDBUTTON_CTRL]

One other comment on the TKR 750/850, these repeaters have an analog 
ground and a digital ground. Analog grounds are used for audio 
connections and the digital grounds are used for signalling like PTT COR 
and data.

When connecting the the URI, or any repeater controller for that matter, 
you must connect one analog ground and one digital ground together at 
the URI or controller. Other wise the digital signals may not work properly.
