Batboard

Now I have a repeater, I need a way to make it ID. I have a controller ready to go but I don't know how to attach it to the R100. I see on the case where there is a spot for a 25 pin connector, but my model does not have one. So how do I attach a controller to it?

If you simpilally just have to have an ID'er, go with the Comm-spec ID-8 and they are easy to wire into the main board. You can even have the dreaded 'BEEP' too.

The 'controller' in the R100 is a very good design with squelch tail elimination, and audio gating.

I will dig up the info, and maybe tin man can write an articale.

Thanks for the info. That is a nice IDer but I would really like to hook up one of my controllers. I have 2 controllers just lying around and they have more features than just a code IDer. If anyone can provide any info on where I can hook up the various controller lines to the R100, I would appreciate it.

P.S. I see a long, white, 11 pin connector on the big board mounted to the door, could this provide connections for a controller? If not, does anyone know what it is there for?

Thanks

Did someone mention me, lol...

Will...

I think it's about time the RBTIP site has something about the R100, so any info you can provide to help with that would be appreciated.

I haven't got my hands on a R100, yet, but they are becoming common enough on the used market that it's only a matter of time before i can afford a cheap one.

Ok tin man, you are 'on'. Then Lightning can publish it on RB. It would be nice to see it on Batlabs too.

I repair lots of R100's and have done some R & D on them as well.


Sorry the 11 pin connector will not help. What is needed is a proven hookup, so it is off to the R & D Lab.

Any information will be greatly appreciated. I am still new to this repeater stuff so I am learning as I go.

I looked thru the manual and found some points for the external controller hookup.

Detected RX audio P3 - 10 on the receiver command board
Carrier Sq. P3 - 9 on the receiver command board
Gnd P3 - 8 on the receiver command board
this is the connector that connects the RF and command boards.

Carrier Sq P4 - 11 on the Repeater Control board
Flat audio Hi pass filtered P4 - on the Repeater Control board
RX audio Hi pass filtered Test Point 1 on the Repeater Control board

Exciter audio P5 - 3 on the Repeater Control board
PTT P5 - 2 on the Repeater Control board
GND P5 - 4 on the Repeater Control board
13.6 V P5 - 6 on the Repeater Control board

External PL Junction of R611, R612, and R614 on the TX command board. This needs to go thru a 10k resistor and a blocking cap.

All audio points are at DC, so a coupling/blocking capacitor is needed.
