Why don't you call the factory! They are very helpful if you don't keep them on the phone too long.

(Spare me the get a REAL repeater comments please!) Is the MICOR squelch still available? Anybody done it to one of these? I added a Micor squelch board from LinkComm to a Kendecom RX once. It worked fairly well, though it was still somewhat susceptible to off-channel signals, making the squelch excessively tight whenever a strong signal was present 15 kHz away, regardless of modulation level on that signal. I suspect this to be due to design flaw in the MR4 design (mid-stage IF amplifier overload). A 10 kHz LPF in front of the Micor squelch board may cure that problem. Bob NO6B Funny you should mention that, Bob... The Kendecom repeater the local club had would indeed overload. If you were within a mile of the repeater site and forgot to go to low power on the mobile rig, the repeater would remind you - by cutting you off. If you reduced the power level on your radio to 5 watts, you could use the repeater almost right up to the site. This is the only repeater we have utilized at that site that exhibited this behavior. It was replaced about 7 years ago with a 30 year old MICOR. Kevin Custer
