I am making the assumption that you have programmed the radio to use a clam-shell style control head and NOT an A7 display head. You were so close. All you needed to do is connect pins 19 & 4 to +12v. From the batlabs website: > If you need to program a Maratrac, and do not have a control head > available, all is not lost. What you do need is a control cable from a > Maratrac, Mitrek, Mocom 70, or Motrac.

Doing the above method does not allow for channel selection, but if you are simply using this as a repeater transmitter, It will get you by.
