First of all, the price isn't that big... a mobile can provide the boards, and reeds can be found for $5 each... Just make sure that you have the right pin count on the boards - there were two versions of the PL boards and I think it was 5 pins and 7 pins, but it's been a while... With that said, RX disc audio for the decoder is available on the lower left receiver points on the backplane and the PL input to the exciter is available on the upper right row of pins. Part of the standard mod is to add a jumper so that the local speaker amp can monitor the RX. I personally add a rotary switch into that jumper wiring so that I can monitor the RX, the TX audio, and a few more audio points (for example remote base RX and TX audio). If you have an Scom 7K or a similar controller with a PL encoder audio gate you might want to consider routing your new PL encoder through the audio gate as you install it. If you need to switch the PL encode with the COS it can be done at any point in the future with a simple program command. You'll find most of what you need on the web pages linked off of <http://www.repeater-builder.com/rbtip/micor-index.html> You WILL need both manuals for the station so you can find all the points. You need the RF manual and the Control manual. Note that there were two series of backplanes, one for the "regular" and the other for the "community repeater" stations, and the control manuals are different. An outside controller can be added to either one, but it helps to have the right manual. Note that if the chassis was built as a carrier squelch station that you may have to add a few internal jumpers. Mike WA6ILQ Yahoo!
