Thanks! I'm thinking of just getting the IDM2 (AE) CWID Repeater Controller from mre1032 on eBay. Think this is a better solution for a simple GMRS Repeater? I've had a lot of issues with this GR300 setup and I just don't have enough knowledge to keep up with it.

With the RX Radio connect to the Astron PS and the RX Cable from the RX to RICK. Yes, the on off switch works.

I removed PIN 13 from the RICK to TX cable, both sides of the cable however, the RX radio is still powered without being plugged in.

I find it odd that I can turn the TX Radio on or off using the power&volume knob. Also, the radio makes its own ...

I tried searching batlabs but can't find a picture of the cable end that shows which pins are which, would anyone have that?

Warning on the R.I.C.K. setup. The dammed R.I.C.K. passes the RX radios power to the transmit radio and can burn out the RX radio's fuse on the logic board. FIX: remove the wire on pin 13 of the R.I.C.K. to TX radio cable.

Thanks for the replies again. I'm sure the TX/RX Cables are correct. Curious if this is cause for concern as well, I turned the repeater on without actually supplying power to the RX Radio but it still powers up. I'm assuming power is carried through the RICK controller cable to the RX Radio, Is ...

Thanks for the replies. I took the tx, rx radio and rick out of the gr300 shell and connected them to my QJE 30 amp power supply. According to the power supply, when xmitting there is a 8.5amp draw and 0.7amp at rest. I setup my scanner next to another ht750 in front of th power supply lcd scrren ...

Major Issue: Range of GR300 has gone from approximately 1.5 miles to about 1000 feet using my HT750.

This repeater is by no means an ideal setup and, according to most of the users on these boards and the responses they've given to other help threads I've searched, It's probably pretty bad. However ...
