I have actually built a "AND" squelch circuit for a Micor because the squelch tail was to long with PL. However, in this case we like to turn PL off at times and I think adding the caps will fix the problem. Anyway I will let the group know how this works out after next time I go to the mounta

$98 to have them set up as a generic repeater is a bit high, there isn't much to it, fire up the software, change to repeater mode, tell the software it's a generic repeater, follow the screens in the software, program the radio's. The software takes care of the accessory pin configuration,

I attended a local repeater coordination meeting WPRC in Butler Pa this past weekend. I was amazed at the amount of argument and bickering the board members did, and seemed to go out of their way to make life difficult for a fellow from a repeater group who travelled several hours to be there. H

Hi Matt, Turn the RF Output Power down so the amplifier doesn't get hot and burn up. And you might consider a quality muffin fan moving air over the back of the transmit radio (amplifier section). Power output is adjusted in software at the time of programming. Set the transmit time out tim

Now the 'rest of the story'. WPRC does not accept modifications of coordination from anyone but the holder of the coordination. That includes in writing or in person. Would YOU want someone else changing YOUR coordination? The transfer of the coordination in question was just requested by the holde

[Repeater-Builder] Motorola GTX900 Programming Issue

2007-01-24 Thread Andrew G.
I have a Motorola GTX900 that is refusing to program. It does not want to communicate with either of my 2 PC's in DOS mode. So far have tried RSS 1, 2, and Lab R01. Nothing, keep getting Error#2 no communication. Cable/PC is working since I pulled the GTX off and read/wrote my Maxtrac and GM300

I would expect that even an older version would still read the radio and just come up with a "model not found" error if it was too old. Did this radio EVER get programmed properly at your house? The programming line doesn't go too far into the radio. You could try grounding the programming line,

As he stated later on, his cable worked with a MaxTrac and a GM300. Both of these are mobiles, so I think it's safe to assume that his GTX is a mobile as well as they all use the same RJ45 programming cable. Bob M. == --- Danny Musten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mobile or Portable? The port
