so i bought a rick repeater for a backup. it is a gm300 recive and a m130 transmit. the problem is that i accidently got the grey control cables switched on the back of the radios. now the m 130 will not poer up even by itself. what may i have done to this radio and can it be fixed? thanks in advance. all help is welcome! chris

Common problem, the RICK blew the fuse in the M120 radio.

The accessory fuse is a Littelfuse picofuse, probably 2 amp and either green or light brown in color soldered onto the logic board near the accessory connector. It's about the size of a 1/4 watt resistor with axial leads. It'll likely be marked with the manufacturer's logo and rating: Look for "Lf" and "2A" markings.

alright . that was it. i replaced the fuse and she fired right up. since you are so knowledgeable i would like to pick your brain a little more. if you dont mind... so the problem that i have been havin g with the repeater which is new to me... they configured a gm300 for rx and the m130 tx. when i transmit my handheld into the repeater the repeater does in fact repeat but heres the issue. when the signal is recieved into the gm300 it blurps audio from the tx radios speaker, but automaticlly mutes it so you cannot hear the what is being tx'd. at the exact time the radio mutes the cor light turns and remains on during the course of the whole transmission. like i said the repeater works fine on repeating the signal but no audio is heard at the repeater to where i can moniter it. as the setup sits when the repeater enable switch is on , so is the setupo light. so the kicker to this is that if i change the rx radio tochannel 2 i can then hear the audio, cor light stays off, but no repeat. so i am baffled at what might be going on. any info or tricks you might have ? thanks again you guys, you're life savers!

The TX radio is probably programmed to the repeater receive frequency, so that is why you hear the RX audio before the TX is keyed.
