Thanks, Ryan Holt The R100 programming cable does not use the RIB. The R100 software requires a very slow computer with DOS, no windows or Bill Gates stuff. Try a 8 to 10 mhz 286, that is what the software was designed to opperate on. Need more help, let me know... I fix lots of them. Yahoo!

I have scanned the manual for the R100 repeater 450-470, manual #68P81071E50-A into JPG picture files. Since it is over 30 megs total I will not send it by my slow dial up connection but I will supply anyone with a copy if they send me a zip disk or a blank CD to put it on. I will also include schematics of the programming interface as well as all other errata I have collected including the wiring of the 25 pin connector to an external controller courtesy of the Zetron company. By the way, I was told the 15 watt models only have one large cap on the power supply and the 25 watt models have two. It seems I have one of each. I now have two of the UHF versions operational, one on GMRS and one on the ham bands Art - KC7GF 663 Aspen Road Golden, CO 80401 303-526-2520 Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: R100 Repeater
Hi Jim,
Typo, make them now and then, was talking Radius R-100.
Now at home and looking at the theory/maintenance manual,
68P84828D54-2, which states:
MC Compact Base Station and Repeater, models covered:
66-88Mhz, 136-174Mhz, 174-225Mhz and 403-470Mhz (in two
ranges, 403-433Mhz and 438-470Mhz) in1-6w, 1-10w, 10-25w
adjustable (174-22Mhz 25 watt only) in PL or DPL only.
Boy I would love some of those 174-225Mhz models.

I had several Moto R100 repeaters. The PA is based on the
Motorola
MOSTAR, everything else, I have no clue.
Software can be found at the hackersrussia web site
The software hack to make the R100 go out of band can be found
at:
http://www.batlabs.com/r100.html
The programming cable is VERY SIMPLE, and DOES NOT need a
RIB
interface, it just plugs directly into the serial port on the
computer.That schematic is at:
http://www.batlabs.com/images/r100.gif
As for using the repeater - I left the R100 controller connected
-
somewhat, but connected the audio path cables to the empty DB-25
port
on the bottom of the case as well as bringing the COR, PTT etc,
all the
necessary signals down to the DB-25 port. If you have a DB-25
already
there, Get rid of it, its not of any use its some funky phone
patch
thingie, and install your own DB-25. Then make up your cable that
goes
from the DB-25 on the R100 to your controller. Much much more
reliable,better audio, more options and control but the best
thing, you will
then have an IDer. The stock R100 does not have an IDer built in
the
controller board. One of those Motorola - DUH - things I
guess.
As for a manual - No can do here. I sold the last manual a while
back,
but you can find them at hamfests.
And forget about taking it to a Moto dealer, a few years ago I
had an
R100 that stumped me for at least a month with a problem
that
disapeared if you had your eyes looking at it - but would
re-
aprear if
if you looked away. I took it to a couple moto shops - no one
would
touch it, Motorola does not supply the parts anymore for the R100
and
the service shops do not want to waste their time on fixing an
old
heap.
Don't get me wrong, I like the dang things in fact I'm actually
lookingfor a couple more just because they are compact.
I have a question though, I've always seen UHF R100 repeaters,
Was
there ever a VHF version? If so, I would love to get my hands on
one of
them.

There is a few ideas to check.
http://www.cornerstonesmr.com
they mainly are looking for dealer opportunities, but may have something sitting
in the warehouse, who knows ?
http://www.iloveradios.com they have
some Motorola CP 150 and CP 200 portables.
http://www.NATRAD.com/ue some
list of used radios, they have some sort of a clearence.
http://www.air-comm.com Motorola
stuff.
I got this off of Mission Critical mag freebie but
has very good articles, few ads, Job openings 3 this month.

If the R100 IS PL, then it can only do PL. DPL requires a different microprocessor and a lot of parts changes. They will go to 440 and to 474 with some alignment. They are NOT broadband. Being that the German Maxtrac, alias R100, are up near 14 to 18 years old you may need to replace a few caps, the two big ones in the power supply, and a few on the big logic board. There are a few improvement mods we have made to the R100's over the years. Yahoo!
