We have decided to use brand new Yaesu VX-4100 commercial radios. They 
not only have excellent specs, but they have a DB15 on the back that 
has all of the I/O needed.

If you return the FT-2800s, you should get your money back & get a radio 
designed for repeater operation.  A G.E. MVP would be a good example:

I asked a local Yaesu dealer if the have B stock on the VX-2100. Its 
an 8 channel commercial with a DB15 on the back. The baby brother of 
the VX-4200's that I have. EASY to make a repeater from.

[Mike Besemer (WM4B)]

Yeah. I've probed all over the board looking for usable signals (or
something that could be converted to a usable signal) without much luck.  I
think I did find something once but was unable to tap it without a scanning
electron microscope and a laser!

I'm not getting any replies, so I think that I need to take the 
2800's back and switch to 7800's with a packet connector. The 2800 
appears to have better receive, but the milspec board and ultra small 
components make it tough to work on.,

[Bob Ricci]

I spoke at length with the techs at Yaesu and THEY are trying to 
figure out how to connect WIRES to it. Maybe a bad purchase 
decision... The schematic shows the pins connected to but not 
sufficient detail to know what the pin does.

Bob,

 

If you get the answer, PLEASE post it here.  I replied to the original email
from Dave many months ago and haven't heard back.  Inquiring minds want to
