Thanks Eric.
I was kinda hoping that someone had the manual and I could get just the RX
board layout and parts list pages... Even at $13, I'd rather not spend the
money for a one-time use - but it looks as if that's the way I'm going to
have to go.
Thanks and Happy New Year,

I'll give this a try, Ron.
Thanks!

Mark,
Some verification of the duplexer tuning can be done with 2 HTs, one with an
S meter.
Simply use one HT on low power, 0.1 W, transmit thru the
What I have done to Rough it in is use a low power watt meter (mine is
4 watts)
and a HT or mobile rig. You can at least see if you are way out before
you connect
an HT to receive.

Good idea, Ryan! Thanks!
FWIW - this has been shelved for the time being, due to the severe winter
WX (i.e. ice storm) in the area.. Once the weather is better, I'll get back
to work on it. But for now, I need to devote time to my volunteer efforts
with the county EMA.
Thanks all!

As far as having the coaxes switched, we marked the cables before
disassembling the duplexer for re-tuning. However, I do wonder if the guy
tuned the notch to the same freq on both sides. I don't recall seeing him
change the freq on the monitor while he was tuning the duplexers last night.
Have you taken the duplexer out of the equation, put a dummy load on the
TX port, a tuned antenna on the receive port and see if the receiver is
receiving properly? If you have a service monitor, check to see if it
is within performance specs for 12db sinad and 20 db quieting. If it
is, then
Well let us know how it turns out. Hopefully you didn't make the easy
mistake of having the coaxes off of the RX and the TX connected to the
incorrect ports on the duplexer??? OR maybe the fellow whom tuned the
duplexer transposed the high and low sides??? easily enough done and a
very easy
I just brought the repeater back to my shack this afternoon. the service
monitor test will be one of the first performed.
Although I did not tune the duplexers personally, I trust the guy who did
tune them - and he did two of them for us. So if it is a bad duplexer, it's
actually TWO of them.

Hi Eric.
The machine I have is as you described as the latter - it employs a
mobile-type, 6-resonator notch duplexer. It is on 452/457 MHz. As for the
exact model designation, it says Radius GR1225 on the front panel...
We've tried reversing the cables going to the duplexer, with no change in

Hi all I am New to the group and wonting to know if anyone knows the
output power of a Motorola R1225 Repeater?? the reason I wont to know
this is i have an Amp thats driven with 200 to 300MW and am trying to
figure out how to get the power output down to that if at all posable.
Yahoo!
I believe these repeaters are based on the
MaxTrac/Radius/M1225 product line; as such they
probably output 25 or 45 watts. You would need to use
the radio service software to turn the output power
down, however it will be unstable and quite
inefficient at such a low level. The power won't
remain
It depends upon which one of the four models of the R1225 you have. Here
they are:
M03GRC90C2AA, 146-174 MHz, adjustable 1 to 10 watts
M43GRC90C2AA, 146-174 MHz, adjustable 25 to 50 watts
M04GRC90C2AA, 444-474 MHz, adjustable 1 to 10 watts
M44GRC90C2AA, 444-474 MHz, adjustable 25-45 watts
