I have 2 PM 400 UHF radio'es that I want to interface with a RICK for a backup repeater. What is the best set up and programming for a simple uhf repeater ???

I noticed in the software that there are selections for RICK RX or RICK TX. Do I need to set acc pin options ????

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

RICK RX for the receiver radio:
You need to set the receiver radio for RUS, receiver un-squelch, on pin 8. RUS = PL/csq active LO.
Filtered audio on pin 11.

Ground pin 7 & 9 to RICK
+ 12 volts Pin 13 to RICK


RICK TX on the transmitter radio.

Mic audio and PTT, and these can be routed thru the Mic jack which does not require any programming options.

Mic audio pin 2 NEEDS TO BE PROGRAMMED IN RADIO TO ext mic in
PTT PIN 3 NEEDS TO BE PGMD TO EXT PTT active LO

GROUND pins 7 & 9

This is a newer model radio PM 400

This is not the older M 400 from a few years ago
