"JEM Radio I" Programming (Locomotive Radio)
Anyone familiar with the JEM Radio I?
I need to program in some duplex channels with PL tones, and a couple of 151MHz channels. Our units use the Kenwood core radio.
Spoke with JEM support, they didn't seem to know anything about doing any of this.
Anyone have any experience with this?

Re: Vertex VXR-7000 Motorola Repeater Stray RF
If you walk away from the repeater, does the issue go away? It may be that you are just hearing low-level RF from the exciter of the station.

The SLR 8000, as Charles said, is the way to go. It's a very, very nice radio.

Do I plug into the DB15 on the back of the actual chassis, or do I need to open it and connect to the radio inside?
And I assume this uses a standard low power Spectra cable, and RIB?

Re: AstroTac Configuration
Larry,
The ASTROTAC Comparator uses 1000Hz as a status tone. That is why very rarely you'll hear a blip of 1000Hz over the air seemingly from nowhere.
I have no experience using non-Quantar or non-ASTROTAC receivers with an ASTROTAC comparator, so your mileage may vary.
