John, Although some may call any small Motorola controller a "RICK", the term is usually applied to one particular box that is/was used in the GR300 desktop repeater. This is the HLN3333B Repeater Interface Communications Kit, which Motorola likes to spell as "R*I*C*K". The same unit without cables and accessories is the HLN3948B. Other, specific-purpose controllers such as the i20R and 150R are not RICKs.
The complete HLN3333B Kit is still available from Motorola Parts for about $280. The RICK by itself (HLN3948B) costs about $220. You really should get the RICK installation and service manual 6880901Z79 while it is still in print, about $5. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Transue Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 12:20 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: CDM1550 Crossband using Motrola RICK? Thanks, Bill. I think I could use such a box. Where are they available? Are they a current Motorola product?

(R)epeater (I)nterface (C)ommunications (K)it. It is a Motorola "box" that can be configured as either a Uni or Bi directional repeater (along with many other variations). The setup and configuration manual can be a little confusing but it works. BillB In a message dated 10/15/2008 1:18:41 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: *
