digital linking with Quantars
Posted: Tue Aug 07, 2018 12:12 pm
Question ,
I would like to setup 2 Quantars back to back to link to another repeater. Manual shows the RA/RT analog configuration but I want to link digital so both repeaters can run Mixed mode and be connected. So far I have 2 Quantars on the bench both setup as repeaters running Mixed mode. the 2 are connected digitally via V.24 port 1 on each .Cross cable made and both show constant V.24 LED on control panel. Lifting cable cause the leds to blink so they are talking to each other I surmise.
Is there a specific configuration needed in the codeplug or other missing connections.
I have this working at one site but there is an Astrotac Comparator at that site. I want to avoid the Astrotac since there is only 2 radios at this site.
Can this work? Has anyone done this?
Thanks
