I just picke dup a few of these little gems and I want to build a temporary portable lunchbox repeater in case my main machine croaks or incase I am in a weak coverage area--
These have the HLN5173A logic boards-- I was on RB and I saw a couple of articles on how to bring the important signals out.. However, none of the articles addressed my logic board directly. I have the 5pin board and I think I want to make this a sdown and dirty as possible.. I will just cut one end off of a db-9 serial extension cable and run it out the back hole of the radio. I need the usual stuff-- ptt/cor/audioin-out and I really want to find a place for PL detect as well.. Does anybody have a pic of the board showing where/how they tapped and flipped the logic to make this fly? -- Jay Urish W5GM ARRL Life Member Denton County ARRL VEC N5ERS VP/Trustee Monitoring 444.850 PL-88.5
