Well...
The logic output is an unbuffered line on the Signaling
unit (the small repeater/ctcss controller board) uP. There
are actually two lines, one labeled TOR and Tone, I believe
they are next to each other. The TOR line comes out to a
small unused solder pad. It's

Hi,
I have just had a TKR-820 donated to our group. It came with a set of
Sinclair cavities.
But there is no operational manual. Is there any where I can find one, I
checked the Kenwood site and got nowhere.
I assume it has an internal controller

You folks did real well. You didn't say the location, but
we/I will assume the cavities are external to the repeater
cabinet.

Re: Kenwood TKR 820
I agree Jim, but some guys pull the boards and sell them
on Ebay for about $50 each. If you don't think you'll
ever need them, you generate another $50 income and run
an external tone/ltr panel through the rear connector.

I would assume he knows exactly what he has and why it's

Actually you can also make it dance through the rear panel

Hi Jim,
I've never had a tone or ltr panel go bad in service
(knocking on wood). I've had some ham repeater controllers
crap, but never a commercial product.

lock-up. Comm Spec will send you a free reset timer and

Hi David,
There is time out timer, tail time and audio/tone
level adjustments right on the repeater board.
You could try no pl in the decode slot of the
programing information and the desired signaling
in the tx side. If you were using an external
controller, tx signaling (sub tone or dcs

If you pull the tone chip, it should repeat CSQ. Make sure the rpt

Pete,
That is some damn fine information there. I only wish I had it last night. About the only thing that is different in the 820 is the divde radio is .0125 instead of .005Currently I am using a program called pony prog which the serial interface I am using is similar to the one shown on t

Here is how I have my CAT-300 connected via the 15-pin accessory plug:
1Hook Switch Must be grounded for unit to
transmit
2TX Mod. input ground
3Direct Modulation Input This is where your CTCSS and/or DCS
output from your controller would go.
