We purchased a uhf repeater from a local SoCal GMRS dealer and have
had problems with it's working correctly since we purchased it. The
controller is actually a ComSpec TS64 and the 2 radios are 4 channel
maxons. The white wire (rx audio mute) is used to drive the PTT on
the transmit radio. What we are finding is that it doesn't keep the
repeater in transmit mode, it stutters. Semi weak signal heard by the
receiver (almost a clear signal) will cause the transmitter to cut in
and out or not work at all. We asked for help from the dealer who
promised a new controller but never has delivered (its on the test
bench). Anyone have suggestions on what might be causing this problem?
Is there there something we need to put between the comspec and the
mic ptt line? Or is the ComSpec bad? A different controller could be
a possibility but not really in the budget (especially when the dealer
said they made a ton of these and they all work great). What are we
missing? This is GMRS so no Iders required. Thanks for the help.
