[Repeater-Builder] RC 210 / 220 radio for remote ideas?

2004-05-08 Thread Robert W Burton
I am considering upgrading to a RC 210 controller over the summer.  I
have a RC100 (from MCC) that I married with a CSI CS1688 latch board to
work with a TMG707 and a IC3AT for a remote base system.  Worked great. I
took the controller and WAS going to put it into a cleaner looking
box...but never got around to it.  Running another RC100 with just the
TMG707 right now.  

Meanwhile...the RC210 came out.  Looks great and would make life easier
in the remote base work for the NWS here locally.  However.it would
still leave my 220 remote out (I need to control the BCD line and would
have no way of doing it)

I need ideas to make a 220 freq agile (or at least work the channels on
it) with the RC210

or 

Ideas on how to use the RC100 to control the IC3AT and use the RC210 as
the main controller.

Would really like NOT to do the other.  Trying to make this as simple as
possible.

Ideas?
Thanks,
Robert

2004-05-08 Thread Q
You can control any transciever that has an up/down button on its mic with a
pulsed output from your controller,if it has one. I call it the poor mans
remote.It only allows switching the memory channels one at a time. Its most
useful if the radio has voice readback of the frequency. Been doing this
with an Icom IC47A for years. YMMV,73,Lee

Robert, The RC-210 is a three port controller. You could plug port 1 of
the RC-100 into port 2 or 3 on the RC-210 and make the RC-210 forward
DTMF's to it. If you get one, let me know. I would be interested in the
outcome. Contact me off list. 

73, Stephen

Ken - the designer of the 210 - is a regular on this group.  I'd just wait
a couple of days until he gets back from Dayton and ask him.
Or drop him an email at ah6le at ah6le dot net

---Actually, I am here :-) Now to the question at hand

It was queried:

I need ideas to make a 220 freq agile (or at least work the channels on
it) with the RC210 or Ideas on how to use the RC100 to control the IC3AT and 
use the RC210 as the main controller.

---As Stephen pointed out, you could connect the RC100 to an unused port
on the RC210 and then program some 210's DTMF memories to send them out to
the RC100, which would then actually control the 3AT. However, I have a
simpler method. 

Simply turn off DTMF muting on the RC210 port you use to connect to the
RC100. This way, any DTMF entered into another linked port of the 210 will
simply be passed out the port to which the RC100 is connected. Make sense?

While I realize you'd prefer not to have to use the RC100 as an
intermediary, the 210 will not directly support the 3AT, sorry.

Ken
