John,
What are you using for metering? do you have a motorolla test set?
If not, get one or borrow one. What about a manual? the manual has suggested
starting points for the slugs per frequency. If it is more than a few turns
off, you will get no readings. I have tuned up several mitreks and made one
repeater (not on the air yet, still building a duplexer) They are fun and easy
if you have a manual and a test set. Check e-bay.
Other than that, I can't think of any tricks that you are missing
The pinout of the round connector is on the website:

Be sure and visit all of the sites that are listed on the

Good luck,

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Mitrek Radio Problem
Hello All,
I am trying to tune up a Low Band Mitrek. I tried powering it up
using a Mocom 70 consolette base frame and custom wiring a cutoff
front plug with volume squelch, etc. In both cases I get audio
noise and squelch to work, but cannot get any sign of meter readings
on RX or TX. I grounded the channel 1 elements, too. I do not have
a listing of the metering plug pinouts, so if anyone can give me a
list, that would help. But, it seems like there is something like a
jumper missing to make the radio work?? Does anyone have any
ideas?? Thanks.
