900 Mhz MTR2000 to Amateur Service

[wb4gbi]

I have seen several 900 Mhz MTR2000 repeaters listed on Ebay recently and have been tempted. Does anyone know if these will work for a 900 Mhz Amateur repeater? I would use the 25 Mhz frequency split. Please email at [email protected] if you have any experience. Thank you in advance!

Yes they do. There are a few on the air right now. After you edit the software and install your freqs. you will have to do an alignment to get repeat audio to work.

Big Bob,
Can you tell me what software mods I need to do to the CPS specifically? I have been trying without luck to get this to take my freq. of 927.4875 and been very unsucessful. Have you actually got one working?

I have gotten limted responses on this, but I know it can be done. I am even willing to pay a reasonable fee and shipping to someone who can do it.

You can contact me off list at kb8zgl at kb8zgl dot net.

It's Christmas time, who wants to send a great Christmas presant my way? I promise I was good this year!

I also would like to put an MTR 2000 on ham. Can someone let me know the trick?

The RX freq will go up to 915 MHz, but the TX freq won't go below 935. That's the issue. I'm assuming that the program could be hex-edited to get the TX freq to go lower, however who knows if the PA and exciter will perform at 927 MHz.

I have moved a mtr2k over to 927 but have not been able to get it to pass audio below 935. What alignment steps did you perform to get it to pass audio?
