Byron, It sounds like we have identical repeaters - TKR-820 with CAT-300 controllers... I was pretty certain that I needed to ground Pin 1 before the external controller would work at all, but I'll go back and check that out!
If memory serves me, I grounded it to chassis ground in the repeater itself. Does Pin 1 need to be "brought into" and grounded in the CAT-300 controller? Maybe *that's* where my problem is coming up...

Hi It sound like you do not have pin #1 in the external connector grounded. It disables the internal controller functions when using an external connector. I have an almost identical setup (TKR-820 and Cat 300) and do not have the problem you mentioned. But I do not have the manuals only the technical info that is on the web. Byron NJ7J Yahoo!
