I think that was said best in a Stevan Segal movie. Under Seige Pt.2
The TKR-820 will just sit there like a dumb shit until the magic tone
is played for it on the channel that the receiver is tuned to. Pull
out the 8 pin EEProm that is on the controller board, I think it is
94C56 , this will force the receiver into carrier access. Then one of
the pots on the controller board is squelch, tweak it untill the
repeater starts transmitting. Bust out your radio shack frequency
counter or a modified handheld and count it up to figure out what it
is transmitting on. Then try to set your radio for a common split,
with + and - 5, 3, 2.5 or 1.5 and see which one brings it up.
BTW, the controller is not the board behind the front panel, it is the
small almost 3X5" board that sits in a tray above the radio chassis.
Although the channels are set by the front panel board for what ever
reason.
It is possible to brute force program the EEproms to what ever channel
and tone you want without the KPT-50, check the archive for the
threads from about 5 months ago.
