There are 2 points at which you must supply 13.8 volts to an MSR-2000 PA...
a low-current ("A+") input on the 3-pin connector, and a high-current input
on the 2-terminals above the input connector to the PA (if there aren't
HEAVY red & black wires coming out from under the black plastic cap, you'll
find the terminals underneath - the top terminal is positive).

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] MSR-2000 UHF question
As as addition to my question a few posts back, I have this MSR-2000
amp. It is the medium duty model and is very clean.
I see from the PDF file on the website it needs 13.8 and 9.3 volts for
the control board.
There is a 3 pin male recepticle on the inside rear of the unit, which
I believe is the interface to the rest of the MSR repeater. Is this
where I apply the 9.3 volts as well as +13.8VDC?
I did try this with no luck. Ran thru some of the tests outlined in the
PDF file and it seems ok. But feeding in 200mW from my HT does
nothing, and I went right thru the UHF band.
I got this off of Flea bay so most likely its a very expensive boat
anchor.
ANyone done this before - converted this amp to stand-alone application?
Thanks
