Mike, 1) Though I have never interfaced a controller to one, here is a link to CSI's TP-154 repeater tone panel hookup chart for the R100. This should also work for a basic repeater controller. http://www.connectsystems.com/public_html/hookups/bulletin3a.htm 2) You say you read the Batlab's info on the R100, you know that you are going to hack the software MDF file to make it work in the ham band? Make sure you have (or save) a copy of the original program before you start messing with the file in a hex editer. Then, hack the copy. Mistakes do happen. 3) The R100 software is extremely picky about computer speed. This RSS was made back in the 286 processor days. It is ancient software and it works like its' age. But, it does work! No Windows, or Windows Dos emulaters. Use Dos 6.22! 4) Yes, you will have to retune both receiver and the transmitter. As far as you are moving it in frequency, the vco's will probably not lock. Even if they did, it would not perform well. I hope the repeater fairy also left a service manual for the R100. It is not hard to tune one with the proper equipment, but there is a proper procedure that needs to be followed that is in the service manual. 5) I'm not sure if you are aware, or if it's even an issue. The R100 only came in DPL or PL, not both. If you need PL and your repeater is DPL, you will have to disable DPL in the software and use an external tone source such as a Com Spec or equiv.
