More information about this project. I have the station working - receiving, decoding proper PL tone, repeating, transmitting audio, etc. The only thing it is NOT doing is encoding tone for transmit. (A reminder - this is a Community Repeater MICOR chassis, NOT the standard repeater chassis.)

Well, the MICOR Community Repeater manual supplement arrived today, and I've been going through it with the proverbial fine-toothed comb. I replaced most of the jumpers I originally removed from the backplane. (According to the jumper matrix in the CR manual, they needed to be IN whereas the

A simplified way to make it work would be to take out all cards. Modify the station control per Kevins info in repeater builders. Find the Ptt of the transmitter and run to the station control board. I have modified 2 this way and they both work great. I use a separate micor sq chip but you

I know these stations have jumpers all over the place - backplane, cards, etc. - that all needed to be configured properly for the thing to work the way it should. I have the manuals, but I am stumped. I know I'm missing something, SOMEWHERE - my problem is: WHAT and WHERE? Could be

Hi, Jeff - and thanks for the quick reply. The number on the backplane does NOT match - but don't ask me what it is, because I'm at work and can't get to the station right now. I should be home by 3PM CDT, so I can post it then if necessary. I do know these were repeater station originally, not

Thanks Gary. I did a search at Motorola parts for a manual starting with 68-81 and got over 2600 responses. Of course, the suffix of E25 was not included in any of the responses. The majority of the available manuals were for newer series Astro products. All of the responses I checked

Thanks, Eric. I'm not sure whether I need the Community Repeater supplement to configure it to work with the 4-User Control card... In any event, I just found one at everyone's favorite auction site, so I picked it up. If I don't need it, I can add it to my library for future reference. I

Joe and Eric, OK, many thanks. I bought that manual earlier today from an eBay seller for $14 -- MANUAL #68P81025E55-B. (Eric, I see the reference you sent wants $20 and it's an older manual to boot.) The seller said it will be shipped first thing tomorrow, so I guess now I just sit and wait.
