it is a Range3 non Astro UHF conventional Quantar no SAM module. it is going to be connected to a Maxtrac or a CDM( i know the connections for those 2).
looking at the copies of the service manual i have, on Connector 17(large 50 pin TELCO Connector) i see i can get Aux TX Audio on pin#5 and EXT PTT(low) on Pin#47. i can get AUX RX audio on Pin#30. On what pin can i get COR/COS.? can it be programmed? this is my first try with the Quantar RSS im Using Ver 13
using a Quantar UHF R3 for a crossband repeater

Near the back of your Quantar service manual you should find a tab labeled "System Applications"
In that section look at the RA/RT configuration diagrams which will show you how to connect directly to the station for PTT and COR.
The programming for these inputs and outputs is done in the "Wildcard" portion of the RSS. They are enabled in the default configuration so you should not have to alter the programming unless someone changed things.
Your station MUST have a Wireline Interface [WLI] card or you won't be able to make this work.

just an update after months of procrastinating, i did get it done. found the info in the system applications section of the manual. real easy to do... also helps that the shop has the butterfly tool for the amphenol connectors. you really can do a lot with the back plane on the QUANTAR. I used a link communications TCB-1 to connect the quantar and an M208 mobile. nice little device. set it up for audio delay and remote set up and knock down of the cross band using DTMF. wish i could figure out how to do channel steering with the TCB-1, especially now that i have an M208 in there. rack mounted the whole thing in the cabinet for a nice little setup.
thanks for all the help!

Link says the TCB1 has 7 user programmable output lines. You should be able to use those to steer the Radius, the Quantar , or both.
You could also steer the Radius from the Quantar by setting up MCS in the Quantar and also setting up a wildcard output group associated with the MCS user table. That way different PL tones on the Quantar side would change channels on the Radius.

yeah i thought about doing it with MCS but i need to hear the repeaters hang. when you use MCS you loose the PL on the hang. link doesnt give any info on how to use the output lines. it would be great to do it. i have seen it done with a tone panel. just dont feel like adding more expense to this already.
