Marcus,
Do you realise that the Tait repeater that you have purchased has 50
KHz channel spacing?
The T345 RX has a very different IF section compared to a 12.5 or 25
KHz model T345 RX
You describe what probably was an ex Transpower radio link
(Bearer) for protection signalling. The Transmitters were designed to
run 10 Watts at 100% duty cycle. They were also configured as N+1 Hot
standby links, hence the TX and RX monitor modules.
The T856-24 was a custom build by Tait Electronics for Transpower NZ,
as the original T346 TX modules had lots of issues with P/A's etc and
were deemed too unreliable, hence the swapout to a later T800 series TX.
If you are very unlucky, you have black faced T300 series equipment,
The later stuff was straw colour, the same as the T800 radio.
They are not particularly friendly to convert back to a conventional
voice repeater, especially without the proper manuals and test gear.
Cheers
