I have done several of these without too much trouble. On the batlabs site there
is a hack for the R-100 RSS to allow out of band freq's to be entered. The units I
have done have not required any tuning to operate in the ham band, but others
report that they have had to.

The TX and RX chassis inside the repeater each use a DB-15 connector to
connect to the outside world. All the signals you will need to interface an external
controller are available on these connectors. Just disconnect the existing connectors
and supply and wire your own. Also make returning to the "stock" configuration
possible at some time in the future. However, the RX audio out of the receiver
module is not muted by the squelch circuit on this connector. You will need to
count on your controller to provide this function.

Keep the PA on this machine cool. Probably a good idea to keep a muffin fan blowing
across it. Good luck with your project and 73,

Hi folks..
I have a quick question (I hope)..
Can a Motorola R-100 repeater (Mod#Q2903A) be tuned to the ham band without
much hassle? The repeater is currently on Tx 451.3750, Rx 456.3750. Is
this idea worth the effort?
Thanks in advance..
