<div>Jim - the next step would be to make sure you have the sense of PTT and COR correct, </div>
<div>plug things together and then run the audio calibration as described on the web site:</div>

<div>Borrowing a service monitor will really help.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Once the levels are set properly, then you can use a second radio to access the Allstar network and talk to people on other nodes (like mine).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Or your radio can serve as a link to a local repeater that does not have an allstar controller (this is less-than-desirable because it will be transmitting it's courtesy beeps and ID's over your system, which is not really correct. But it's a starting point)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am assuming your system is half-duplex ... if it has two radios and a duplexer, then you can use it as a repeater and not just as a link.</div>
