[Repeater-Builder] Motorola RICK

[tim_shephard]

I am putting together a desktop repeater using CDM1250's and a Motorola 
RICK controller.

I have the system working and repeating fine.  

My question is, can the RICK do CWID?  I don't see anyway to set it up 
if it can.  Also what is the purpose of the PROGRAM button on the RICK?

It also has two RJ11 jacks, what are they for?

The RICK is an HLNB.

Thanks

[Repeater-Builder] Tone remote setting question

[tim_shephard]

I'm working with a GE repeater, Master II.  Its tone remoted.  It is 
setup and working, but I'd like to know how to set the tone remote 
levels correctly over the phone line.  It uses a dedicated copper 
telco line.

I know the audio voice levels should be set at 0db.  The high level 
gaurd tone should be preset to +10db over that, and the low level 
gaurd tone will be preset to go out at -20db.

Given a 16db allowable loss on the phone line, the low level gaurd 
tone could be at -36db at the repeater.  Is that correct?  Will it run 
that that level?

How can you accuratly measure it?

Everything is working, I'm just wondering about this  for discussion 
purposes.
