Hi Dick,
I have a bunch of these on the air and noted same problem when I used my ICOM
U 16 a while back. Check that the *123456* turns on the display. Then do the
*123456# and watch closely that each key press shows up on the display. You
might have one tone that is not decoded correctly. Try another device and see
what happens. I Used a GE PCS and a Motorola GP 68 and they worked fine.
I later tried re-tuning the repeater IF stage later on since I knew that radio
worked before, and Whala, I had access again on my U16. So seems it might be a
sensitivity to the tones that is going on there. I have 5 of my Mastr II
stations on the TP-154's, 1 is on the TP-163. My other 2 stations that don't
have the PLL exciters are using the CSI Supper 32 and the old TP-38. All of
these things have been stable for many years. My First TP-154 I purchased in
1993. Its been on the air ever since.
Good luck,
BTW I have a Motorola Motrac Repeater I would love to wire up for the TP-154
if I could just get the manual on it. I have had it on the air on GMRS on its
single PL of 103.5 for nearly TEN years. Anyone wired one of these up, I am a
GE guy and not had much dealing with the Motrac other than when its 10 ton PA
gave out. (Its seems to run fine on just the exciter)
Regards
Richard

Hi Gang
I need some help with a CSI Tone Panel #154.
Most of the programming works from the touch tone telephone
jack in the back.
What I can not get to work is programming over the air.
I am using the factory pass word *123456# , I can see the digits on the display
when I punch them in from a talkie.
It never goes into program mode.
It will however put the unit into PL display by pushing *123456*
Any answers for my problem
Thanks

Dick
