Interfacing with a Vertex repeater.
Would it hurt the repeater to set up the computer box with a duplex=3 but still let the repeater do the repeating also. That way if the computer dies the repeater keeps working? didn't know if it would hurt the repeater since the URI would be trying to inject audio the same time the repeater was doing it also..

No, it won't hurt the repeater. But it will probably take some repeater modification to get it to accept and mix external and repeat audio. There is a jumper on the db25 that tells the Vertex when the controller is external. Without that jumper audio is repeat only, with it the audio is external audio only. Duplex mode 3 is a great way to go. Please let us know how you do it. You didn't say which Vertex, I assumed a 5000. -- Tim :wq On Oct 13, 2013, at 8:32 AM, Bradley Haney <hammin75@gmail.com> wrote:

sorry vertex 7000 so no jumper to tell it if its external or not. all done I just don't want to hurt the club's repeater. Just didn't know if the URI transmitting the same time the repeater repeating on its own would screw something up On Oct 13, 2013, at 10:42 AM, Tim Sawyer <tim.sawyer@me.com> wrote:

Well it shouldn't hurt the repeater but I don't have a 7000 so I can't say for sure. But my best guess is that if there is an external COR, PTT, RX and TX audio it should be ok. Just curious, if some talks on the repeater at the same time someone is talking on the link, does the audio mix? -- Tim :wq On Oct 13, 2013, at 8:49 AM, Bradley Haney <hammin75@gmail.com> wrote:

ok.. will try.. and see.. 5000 is much easier than this.. i must have the cable jacked up as its not rx ing the ctcss.. oh well back to the drawing board.. I have a uhf vx5000 at home that works a lot easier than the 7000 On Oct 13, 2013, at 10:59 AM, Tim Sawyer <tim.sawyer@me.com> wrote:

Sorry, I forgot to list CTCSS. You'll need that signal too. -- Tim :wq On Oct 13, 2013, at 9:56 AM, Bradley Haney <hammin75@gmail.com> wrote:
