Just a couple simple hints here for best practices that I have found
works best on voted systems.
You want to keep all of the receivers connected to the voter the same.
You also want to keep all of the controllers and link radios at the
remote sites the same.
For example if your main repeater
OK you MSR-2000 guys... there's a Manual available on
Ebay... it's the Station Control Manual, which is the
Service Manual for the Modules (Cards) in the back plane

matching RF Manual for your repeater service needs. The
smart way to go
Morning,
I was wanting to know if its possible to hook up a VHF and UHF radio to a
Motorola RICK and use them for a cross band repeater? What would I have to
do to accomplish this first off and can the radios be used normally when the
rick is off on another channel?
Some help?
Thanks
Another upgrade of the server (hardware this time) that hosts Repeater

We expect the downtime to last 1-2 hours, but the upgrade may be
completed in less time than anticipated. We apologize for any
inconvenience this may

Thanks, Bill. I think I could use such a box. Where are they available?
Are they a current Motorola product?

They are on eBay every so often, but you can
build something similar yourself.
The RICK has no IDer function so it's not that
useful in ham radio applications.
If you want to pursue it, the manual is worth reading before you buy a RICK.
It's number 6880901Z79.

The rick also works well as a remote base... I've set up a

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 HLNB Repeater Interface Communications Kit, which
Motorola likes to spell as R*I*C*K. The same unit without cables
For my basic RICK, I used a BASIC STAMP to CWID and give courtesy tone beep.
It is very small and all fits into the RICK box. I've heard of others using
the com spec ID-8.

Despite GE's LBIs on adjusting these networks, I adjust them for
maximum amplifier efficiency, not following the LBI instructions.
Makes a big difference in amplifier current draw if done carefully.

The Vertex is a good commercial repeater but be careful.
There were two versions differ mainly in the PA section.
The older version had a bipolar xsistor PA while the newer has a rf
hybrid module.
Neither of those repeaters is 100% duty cycle unless you cut the
power in half even then I'd be
