Thanks for all of the replys. I currently use the pins on the back of the phoenix to get the PTT, TX and RX Audio, and the COS. I was just wondering if anybody was doing it differently.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: GE Phoenix Radios as Links/solderless pins
A way of crimping solderless lugs, pins on connectors, etc. when your out in the field and don't have the correct crimpers. Instead of using the needlenose pliers above the fulcrum point, use the area just below the fulcrum point. A tremendous amount of pressure can be achieved when using the area just below the fulcrum point. So much that you must be careful you don't totally flatten or smash the connector. It won't be a mil spec crimp, but it just may get you a useable connection. Gary K2UQ YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "Repeater-Builder" on the web.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: GE Phoenix Radios as Links
You can get the recommended crimper for them that'll set you back in excess of $80. Or, you can get an inexpensive crimper that will get you by, for around $15 or $20. I'm not sure where you can get them, try an electronics store or a tool outlet. Radio Shack sold them at one time, but I'm not sure if they carry them now. Their new sales mantra is: "We Used To Carry That." Or, if all else fails, you can crimp 'em with a pair of needle nose pliers. Bend one ear over the wire, then the other, making sure the crimp is small enough so that the pin will fit in the connector housing. Then you'll need to solder the wire to the pin, as it won't be reliable otherwise.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: GE Phoenix Radios as Links
Some additional thoughts... On second thought, I don't think it would be a good idea to disable the timer, rather set it for 6 or 7 minutes to protect the radio. I don't know of a hardware timer, but there may well be one; I didn't see it mentioned in the service manual, but I could have missed it. The service manual says the timer defaults to one minute. By the way, when you say you didn't program the CCT, did you leave the field blank, or did you put "No" in it? I use one for packet radio, and all the signals I need are on the rear connectors. Do you need a pinout?
