What should have been said is that if you are going to do a repeater the way that Moto did then you will need a squelch gate card - it provides a carrier delay timer, but nothing else - it does not provide a timeout timer or an IDer or any remote control. There are other ways, especially if you plan to use an external controller like one from LinkComm, ICS, CAT, Scom, etc. Look at the Micor page at www.repeater-builder.com and you will find a couple of articles on interfacing a external controller to the backplane of the Micor base/repeater. Look at the web page at <http://www.repeater-builder.com/rbtip/micor-index.html>, and scroll down to the "Non-Band-Specific Station Information" section. I've used Joel Huntley's interfacing method on several Micor repeaters. You can also take a squelch gate card and modify it to be an interface for an external controller and that method requires no mods to the backplane. You can also use the antenna relay control transistor on the station control card and use it to control the transmitter channel element. Does the unit you acquired have the repeater shield kits?
