800 MHZ simulcast system

I am putting in a 7 channel simulcast system. Prime and one remote site. This is being done without Motorola engineering. Anyone got a pinout diagram of all the connections points to bring all together. Using channel bank and microwave.

It's like a RICK, just bigger with extra cables. Tie 'em all together, it should work.

(If you haven't figured it out, a two-line post asking how to completely implement a trunking system leaves most of us wondering if you are a troll, or if you actually expect an answer. You can't actually expect someone to tell you soup-to-nuts how to configure a system, right?)

You have got to be kidding. I have to agree that a 2 line request with what you have said
is not going to hack it.

What are your plans to keep the radios on frequency?

What are your plans to account for TX audio delay?

What are you doing about the microwave audio levels?

What are you doing about RX voting?

And the many more issues that come with simulcasting a trunking system.

Not that I am trying to say it can't be done, but without some serious engineering, it
won't play the way your wishing it will.

My two bits worth:
Some one observed that there is nothing so simple as someone else's job that you know nothing about.

Working for Motorola, I have constructed and optimized such systems in the past.
If you have lots of channels to play with you might consider building an AMSS system.
Much simpler than simulcast.
Best chance is to buy an obsolete used system, which would have all the various extra modules required.
Programming the central controllers is another issue.

In any case I would suggest that you find an old EX-MO that has experience with such systems, buy him or her several beers,
and find out at least the index of problems and issues that you face.

You're going to need a high-speed framicator for this to work properly. A properly affiliated framistat is also required.

1 post. New user. Useless question. Why do we keep bumping this troll's thread?
