Pyramid SVR200 to CDM/TK-7180 interface

Post by NSPD »

Has anyone ever tried to interface a Pyramid SVR-200 mobile repeater to multiple radios? I would like to connect it to a 220mhz CDM155LS+, VHF TK-7180, and a UHF CDM1250.

I have a feeling it's not possible, but it would be nice.

Thanks for any help/suggestions....

Without even looking at the tech bulletins for each radio I would say I doubt it. The main reason for this is because the SVR has jumpers inside the radio and they are either in/out for each radio and then the SVR has to be tuned for the radio. The wideband SVR units are cheap enough on the other auction site. Just buy a few more. However you probably aren't going to be able to more than one SVR to be active at a time (without some serious filters, and SVR tweaking) because of the desense.

As a side note these are nice units, and can easily be programmed with the Vertex VPL-1 programming cable. Pyramid is also now offering "smart cables" to interface with some select radios. These eliminate radio modifications and only cost $100.

Folks,

This should be pretty straightforward. Just run everything in parallel out of SVR to the appropriate pin #'s on the associated radios.

Where are you located?

You can only Connect to one radio. Because you have to solder inernals for each perticular radio,

Expensive way to do it would be an interoperability gateway or possibly one of Critical RF's solutions where everything is tied into one "place." This would require a metric ass load of money or on board computers and radio interfaces. FatBoy.


PS, I do not work for Critical RF
......I understand what the package says sir, but you cannot talk 28 miles with 3 AA batteries.......
