Ron,
Good Day to you too. Well I know Mike somewhat and am sure he is
neither stupid nor would take an offense to my reply. Besides that he
asked the question first. I only replied. I certainly hope Mike has
taken no offense to my comments. If so I am sorry and apologize. Also
Ron my name is Collin.

Collins,
Well how stupid do you think Mike is??? :) Your comment "No you are
not too stupid to do this" caught my eye, hi.
Got my first laugh of the day. Seems I don't get those much anymore.

Mike,
No you are not too stupid to do this. On my Basic controller it is
called control receiver. It is there only to control the repeater
functions. It can be locked up under several layers of control access.
In other words with one DTMF password you could access limited
functions and with another DTMF password you could access all
functions. This is with a simple controller like I use the ICS basic
controller. I am sure you will have alot more control with the CAT. The
connections should be similar to what you would have for the repeater
receiver. With the basic the control receiver will take priority over
the repeater receiver. Your CAT book should give you plain instructions
for a control receiver. Hope this helps.
Good Luck, Collin

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Control Link
Greetings all,
Please pardon my ignorance, but with the group of experts who hang out
on this reflector I’d prefer getting the straight-poop from those who
have ‘been-there/done- that’, rather than trying to find the correct
answer the old-fashioned way!
I’m considering adding a control link to our clubs 2-meter repeater.
Currently, we use the phone-line as control link, but it’d be nice to
have a second means of control.
The controller is a CAT-1000, so I think I can just use the port for
the 2nd radio (need to do some more reading in the manual to see what
functions are allowed with that setup). Am I barking up the right
tree? Any downside to this? Do I need to coordinate the link
frequency through our coordinating body (SERA)? Can I eventually use
this link to link two repeaters? Am I too stupid to attempt this?
Again, pardon me asking prior to doing the research myself, but this
place is a wealth of knowledge and with WAY too little time to do
everything I’d like to do I sure appreciate everybody’s assistance.
Mike
