[Repeater-Builder] Motorola Rick (repeater controller) info?
Hello to the Group, I've got someone from Romania Emailing me regarding the Motorola Rick and it's setup. I thought there might be a bit of information (IE a Manual) for it on the RB Pages but I'm not able to find any. Besides the Batlabs site, is/does anyone have a web page up for the Motorola Rick Repeater Controller? thanks in advance for your reply posts. cheers, skipp
RE: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola Rick (repeater controller) info?
Skipp, The manual for the HLNB R*I*C*K is 6880901Z79, still available from Motorola Parts for about $5. Since it is still in print and is copyrighted, it should not be posted anywhere for download, lest the long arm of the law be felt by the perpetrators. I suggested to the individual that he contact the Motorola agent in his country to purchase the document. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of skipp025 Sent: Saturday, April 17, 2010 4:45 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola Rick (repeater controller) info?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola RICK
The Comm Spec CW ID plugs into this RICK with little interfacing. Might have to specify a cable. Also, using the 2 connectors that interface to the radios in the GM300 makes it easy to interface a controller have many more bells and farts than the RICK. I did one few days ago and it was easy. One can get the connectors off e-bay and I am sure other sources. Of course if commercial repeater the Mot RICK is very good, just need ID. 73, ron, n9ee/r Ron Wright, N9EE 727-376-6575 MICRO COMPUTER CONCEPTS Owner 146.64 repeater Tampa Bay, FL No tone, all are welcome.

[Repeater-Builder] Motorola RICK
I am putting together a desktop repeater using CDM1250's and a Motorola RICK controller. I have the system working and repeating fine. My question is, can the RICK do CWID? I don't see anyway to set it up if it can. Also what is the purpose of the PROGRAM button on the RICK? It also has two RJ11 jacks, what are they for? The RICK is an HLNB. Thanks -Tim

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola RICK
Tim, No, the HLNB R.I.C.K does not have an internal identifier; you'll need to add an ID-8 or similar CWID device to make it legal. The two modular jacks simply duplicate some of the pins in the larger 16-pin connectors. Switch S3 is used during the setup of the controller. There are also 12 DIP switches inside the unit that must be set properly, depending upon what radio is used in each position. I strongly suggest that you purchase a copy of the R.I.C.K manual 6880901Z79, which explains in detail how the unit works and how to set it up and test it. The 45-page manual costs less than five dollars, and is one of the last bargains. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 6:12 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola RICK I have build a repeater using two CDM1250's and a RICK controller.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola RICK
Thanks Kevin and Rick. I have a soft copy of that manual that Motorola sent me. It did not seem to cover those questions too well for me. I kind of assumed I was grabbing at straws. Thanks for the confirmation. I'll look into an aftermarket id'er -Tim On Jun 4, 2008, at 8:34 PM, Eric Lemmon wrote: Tim, No, the HLNB R.I.C.K does not have an internal identifier; you'll need to add an ID-8 or similar CWID device to make it legal.
