Will start with a run-down of what I’m working with.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Radio: Motorola CDM1250 UHF<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cabling: Pre-made cables from Marshall, KE6PCV<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Interface: DMK URI-X<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Computer: Raspberry Pi 3<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Installation: RAT RC1 (have also tried the older 1.0.1 DIAL install with same issues)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The setup is a simplex node on 446.500 with a tone of 91.5. I have the radio itself detecting the tone via programming, as well as transmitting the same tone. If I do a simple “kerchunk” from my HT (only about 5 feet away from the antenna, thru the wall of my house), the courtesy tone will return back to me. If I transmit for more than a second or so, I do *<b>NOT</b>* get the courtesy tone. The computer also does not seem to receive the DTMF tones when I try to transmit *81 – if I run asterisk -r from the command line and try to transmit tones, I see no indication that the system is hearing those tones. I suspect I have something mis-programmed in the radio – this is the first time I’ve ever tried to program a Motorola radio, and CPS has a lot of options I’m not familiar with. I’ve tried a bunch of google searches, without any luck, so I’m throwing this out to the world. Is there a good run-down step-by-step to programming the CDM1250 I could refer to that I haven’t seen? I’ve tried the batlabs site and a bunch of google searches to no avail.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The final goal in this is to use what I learn with this simplex node to rebuild our clubs off-air UHF repeater as an AllStar node. Once that’s working, I’d like to convert our existing 2m repeater to yet another AllStar node, and permanently link them together. But I don’t want to tackle the repeater until I have the simplex node working properly!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated!
