Hello:

I am trying to connect a Motorola R1225 VHF Repeater to a Motorola Radius Lowband Mobile so that I can have a crossband repeater. I have the R1225 going into a TPL AMP so that I can acheive 100 Watts of power out. I need th repeater so that I can get portable coverage in my area. I need to connect the repeater to lowband because my local fire department is operating on lowband. I am utilizing a RICK Controller to interface between the two components. I have it going one way but not the other. If I transmit on a VHF portable, I can hear the audio come out on a lowband mobile. If I transmit on a lowband mobile, I can not here the audio on a VHF portable. I only get the flat carrier white noise. The noise that I am getting is a "white noise". I have tried a bunch of different configurations, and nothing. Can someoner please help!!!

Thanks,
Nick

Nick, time to look at some tech. info that can help.

First there are a bunch of dammned DIP switches in the RICK and some may not be correct, also check the Ju501 in the Low band radio.

Thanks for the reply. I have check and double checked all of the dip switches in the RICK. They all seem to be in the proper order. I have them set for bi-directional. I have changed the JU551 jumper inside the lowband to what the RICK Instructions tell me to do. I didn't see anything for the JU501. Do you think that I have to change anything inside the R1225 Transceiver?

Thanks,
Nick

Nick, seems you are not getting TX audio on the R1225 from the Low Band radio, Ok lets look at some possible points to check.
1) External Mic input on Pin 2 not enabled. (R1225)
2) RX Audio output, (R1225) program for Muted and De-emphasized.
