I have a few of the MSR-2000 Squelch Gate Modules available, if you need one (provides the COS signal for an MSR-2000 Repeater). LJ

Base station implies the MSR was originally used in simplex (non repeat operation). If you want to convert a prewired duplex base station, there are a number of coversions around, including mine on the www.radiowrench.com/sonic web page as well as one or two on the repeater builder site. A simple rule of thumb... look at the antenna coax connector(s). One coax connector is a base station (unless you spot an internal duplexer). Two coax connectors imply a duplex unit, most often a repeater. If you have the single coax port msr, read on... Depends on which base station you have. If your base has the duplex back plane, you're looking at wires jumpers and modules... plus a serious amount of time. The duplex back plane will operate as a repeater without an external controller. If you have the non-duplex backplane, your're looking at a bit of serious technical work, a lot more wires, jumpers and maybe modules. The non-duplex back plane conversion will require an external controller. This conversion is not for the faint of heart... (ie short tempers). The new antenna lead connections much be made with high quality coax. I used to hunt down and use the original chassis mount SO-239 with the matching hood, but an in line connector will work. cheers, skipp skipp025 at yahoo.com > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Has anyone converted an MSR2000 base to > repeater configuration?
