<DIV dir=ltr>The GM300 and M120 can be programmed by a piece of windows software
called "radio doctor" that works quite well. Radio Doctor is not motorola
software so i'm assuming it's perfectly legal.</DIV>

<DIV>Our remote base isn’t cutting it. It is half-duplex using a Vertex
VX-4200. We are told that the audio has no bottom, it is sending CWID that it
hears from the repeater (I knew why) and is sending pulses. I didn’t set the
hardware or software up, so as I ask please know that I am at the top of a
mountain and the remote base at the bottom where we have internet. Here’s what
we are dealing with. Our intent is to attach the RTCM at the repeater site
once we have internet up there. Until then...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The DB-15 on the back of the Vertex VX-4200 is *almost* capable of being
used as a repeater controller output.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Pin 1 = TX Audio</DIV>
<DIV>Pin 2 = RX Audio</DIV>
<DIV>Pin 6 = External PTT</DIV>
<DIV>Pin 9 = COR (see notes)</DIV>
<DIV>Pin 15 = GRND</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>COR is achieved by creating voltage divider using other pins. Only then
will one get COR but not COS. PL will only make it to the speaker on the front
panel and rear jack. PL IS NOT on pin 2. Pin 2 is squelched but when it
receives the repeater’s built-in controller (a Motorola MSF-5000). Every time
our CWID goes off our remote base sends it to everyone.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here are the problems. First, we’re told that we are committing link
abuse by “jumping” or key clicking every time someone else transmits on a node
our node replies. I don’t know what I am talking bout at this point. <IMG

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Next I am told that our audio has no bottom end. No bass. The pin that
we’re able to pull from is the only source that we’re aware of and is the pin
used by Vertex to send audio to their VRS (mobile repeater).</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I’ve been told to turn PL off and let the repeater pass through the tone.
But please remember that pin 2 has no PL on it. Only the front panel speaker
and rear speaker jack audio are muted by PL.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The easiest solution may be a GM300 but I cannot get the darn software on
our old 386 laptop. The floppy decided to only read those created by itself.
We’re puckered up on this one.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Suggestions are
appeciated.</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>App_rpt-users
