Here are my current connections and programming. Programming has changed a couple of times as I try different things.
Connections: CAT-400 (J4) CTCSS (Not Used, since my COS only goes high with proper PL. CAT-400 (J6) COR (COS) to SCM Board, U832 pin 11, active high CAT-400 (J10) PTT to SCM Board, Test Point 9, active low CAT-400 (J11) TX Audio Out #1 to SCM Board, U834 with 18K 1/4 watt resistor CAT-400 (J13) RX Audio In #1 to SCM Board, J800, Pin 38 CAT-400 (J14) Shield Ground to SCM Board, J800, Pin 37 CAT-400 (J14) Ground to SCM Board, J800, Pin 40 Programming: #1 Model C74CLB7106A #2 Number of Channels = 1 #3 RF Frequency Infor / Range Checking Desired = Yes, Channel 1 = RX Freq = 448250.00 KHz, Channel 1 = TX Freq = 443.250, Update Tuning Channel? = Yes #4 Coded Squelch Info / Channel 1 = TX-PL = 3A, Channel 1 = RX-PL =3A #5 P-T-T Time Out Timer / Channel 1 = LIN-TOT = 60.0 Seconds, Channel 1 = LOC-TOT = 60.0 Seconds, Channel 1 = RPT-TOT = 180.0 Seconds #6 RPTR Drop-Out Delay / Channel 1 = RPT-DOD 0.0 Seconds #7 P-T-T Priority Onfo / Channel 1 = LW #8 Repeater Control / Channel 1 = RPT Act = SC, Channel 1 = RPT Hold = SC #9 RCVR Audio Control / Channel 1 = RCVR Audio = SC #10 TX Audio/Data Mixing / Channel 1 = Mix LIN with Data = No, Channel 1 = Mix LOC with Data = No, Channel 1 = Mix RPT with Data = No. #11 Auto ID Callsign = Left Blank #12 Alarm Tone Routing / Channel 1 = Over the air = Enabled, Channel 1 = Over-The-Air = Enabled, Channel 1 = Over-WIRELINE = Enabled #13 DC Remote Currents = Default #14 Mux-Bus Power-Up = Default #15 Spectra-TAC Info / MCS Station Info = Spectra-TAC Station Type = Base #16 MCS Station Info / MCS Station Operation = No #17 RA Station Info / On-Cabinet Repeat? = Yes *This has been changed both ways (Yes and No) #18 Wireline Duplex / Full Duplex = No Thanks In Advance Ray KE5VJH rsc...@seabrookfd.com --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "Bob M." <msf5kg...@...> wrote: > > > If this was a stand-alone repeater, instead of a base-station, I'd think you have the repeater-activate and repeater-holdin parameters set differently, such that it needs carrier and PL tone to bring up the repeater but the holdin is missing or OFF. > > However, in a base-station configuration, the only field that has meaning is the receiver audio control / activation. > > I'd suspect the signal polarity and/or level feeding the CAT controller is incorrect or needs a pull-up on the input.

Put a scope or voltmeter on this point and verify that you still have signal coming through when the CAT keys the transmitter. Also verify the PTT signal coming out of the CAT is keying the transmitter when you provide the proper INPUT signals to the CAT. In other words, disconnect the COR and CTCSS lines and activate them manually to see if it's the CAT or the MSF that's not working the way you want. > > Bob M. > ====== > --- On Sun, 3/1/09, svfdcook <rsc...@...> wrote: > > > From: svfdcook <rsc...@...> > > Subject: [Repeater-Builder] MSF5000 CLB Eprom Programming Template > > To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > > Date: Sunday, March 1, 2009, 8:57 PM > > I am looking for some healp from users that have already > > programmed a > > CLB unit as a repeater with external controller.
