RICK Bidirectional problem

Post by wazzzzzzzzup »

hi all,
trying to set up a rick for bidirectional. following the directions sheet, setting the switches, it will operate fine in one direction, but when transmitting in the opposite direction, it pulses TX several times a second continuously. the radios are set up correctly. i have used an aftermarket MRE1032 bidirectional adapter and it works FINE in both directions, its just having lower audio issues no matter what i set the audio adjustment to, and hoping a rick will have better audio.

i have tried the rick on my properly configured GR400 (using 2 16 channel GM300s) and the other pair of radios im using are UHF M120 to a VHF GM300
on each setup, it works 1 way but only pulses in the other. i have even tried different dip switch configurations (many many many) and nomatter what i do, it just pulses TX in opposite direction...

i have searched batlabs and found other issues, but not my issue.
any ideas?
think about how to ENCOURAGE Motorola learning safely with GRACE.....NOT condemnation.

Have you verified that PTT is "pulsing" with a voltmeter? PTT is supposed to be driven by COR from the rx radio. Is COR steady on the voltmeter?

What is the IO port set to on the GM300? I have the opposite to you, a M120 VHF and GM300 UHF in crossband with an after-market cable and had to set the GM300 accy port to phone patch for it to behave.
