RICK Help Needed

Looking for some help here. I'm trying to build a bi-directional repeater using a vhf M1225 and a uhf GM300.

I have the GM300 plugged into the RX side of the rick and the M1225 on the TX side. I can get it to take the RX audio from the GM300 and repeat it through the M1225 no problem but not the other way. When the M1225 receives a signal the RICK causes it to TX. So when the M1225 is receiving it goes nuts.

I have been all through the book supplied with the RICK and seeing as how it has no info on either radio I'm in the dark.

Actually, the R.I.C.K. book does include dip switch settings for bi-directional repeat. You need to make sure the the mobiles have TOR programmed to output on the correct pins. If you need, I can write down a step-by-step.... I do this frequently...

Edited to add it anyway....

S2-1 On
S2-2 On
S2-3 Off
S2-4 Off
S2-5 Off
S2-6 On
S2-7 I forget what it does...
S2-8 On
S2-9 Off
S2-10 On
S2-11 On
S2-12 Forget this one too...

The definitions for all the switches are in the RICK book.

Receive Radio uses pin 14 for TOR, Transmit Radio uses pin 8 for TOR....

Make sure that TOR polarity is correct.

Remember that audio level settings in these guys is critical to proper operation. 2 service monitors and 5 minutes to make it right....

Got it working thanks!

What I meant by no info on the radio was it has specific info on settings for the M100 M200 and M400 only.
