Can anyone give me a hand with some preliminary questions regarding a
UHF repeater (still waiting - after a week - for the owner of the
MSF5000 group to approve me!)?
Specifically 2 questions
1) The Batlabs programming cable info says pin 1 of the control
(programming) jack is on the left as viewed from the front of the
radio, whereas the RB webpage says pin 1 is on the right. Which is correct?
2) The MSF boots up without errors and both Rx & Tx VCO LEDs light at
the end. However, putting the unit into xmt (using the front panel
switch) only produces a 100 ms (or so) flash of the associated PA
LEDs and no RF out. No errors are shown on the 7 segment display.
I figure I'd read the codeplug (I have an RIB and RSS) to see how
it's programmed but for question one!
Also, this unit has the accessory tray with the DTMF decoder/encoder
option, as well as the wildcard option, if that makes any difference.
(yes, I was even lucky enough to receive a full set of manuals for
this exact radio).
TIA
Ken
