Building a repeater cable

Post by M1225 »

Im wanting to build a cross band repeater cable for a maxtrac 300 and a m1225. I found the schematic for the cable but have a few questions on programing the radios. That is how do I program the acc conector on the radios? I think the m1225 may already be set but Im not sure about the maxtrac. Any help is greatly apreciated!

Everything looks pretty straight forward, the only pin that your really going to be concerned about is pin 8 and you'll want to set that for CSQ PL/DPL detect and have it set to go low on which ever radio your going to use as a receiver.

I guess I should have specified before that its going to be bidirectional. So the cor will be CSQ PL/DPL detect in the rss? I take it will be going out as well? Thanks

The rick gives you a couple options, pin 14 or 8 depending on your dip switch configuration

Also RX audio is not present at pin 11
