[Repeater-Builder] Re: About those Trident LTR Controllers

2009-07-12 Thread TRACOMM

We use quite a few Trident controllers (Raiders), they will do LTR 
conventional.

Came across a number of the SEA Trident units several years ago, Trident
advised chip sets were all custom, and units would only work with SEA or
EFJ ACSB units. They were correct, seriously tried, no luck.

The SEA Trident units look identical to the Trident TNT controllers, but
very different software and chipsets, would like to know if anyone got
one working.

LTR Trunking has a lot to offer the commercial radio  world. On the ham
side you can use them with your  927.xxx MHz Repeater and some of the
more popular
radios like the Motorola GTX-900 and Kenwood TK-981.
However, you are not normally allowed to decode carrier  squelch and
CTCSS  DCS signals while using LTR so  the persons you're talking to
need to have it, or
you run scan with a conventional channel. It all gets quirky.

We have LTR Overlay on one 925 MHz box and a co-operational conventional
box going on the same time. Just for fun  but it does work.
