Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: tkr repeater encode function.
I'm also looking to add an NHRC-3+ controller to a TKR-850 for its use as a GMRS simplex repeater.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: tkr repeater encode function.
Hi, This may not be the exact answer. I know this is a kludge, but here's what I am having to do. Assuming that you are using one frequency pair on a TK 750,850 series...The repeater has 16 ch capability. Just program all the channels to the same frequency pair but different tones. Then by grounding the appropriate external aux I/O port select your channel (tone). You have to set this up with the Kenwood programming software. One caveat though, in repeat mode if you are doing this with an external controller as soon as the repeater receives the logic from the controller to the AUX I/O port it will drop xmit immediately. Thus you have no feedback, until you rekey and note the different tone being transmitted. I am engineering a 16F84A pic based circuit board to delay this logic by 2 secs and send a separate PTT command to the RC-210 controller I am using. This makes the tone change appear to be normal like the old ACC RC850 controller could do to its own Icom link xcvrs. As much trouble as it sounds, it still beats tearing into a new perfectly good repeater to install a tone board. There is still yet another option, and that is to use the multitable tone option. Then the tone out is controlled by a psuedo BCD code applied to the external AUX I/O ports. This is again enabled by the Kenwood programming software. I haven't tried to see if this drops the xmitr though. Alas this could easily be done with the on board firmware if Kenwood wanted to. 73 Bernie Parker K5BP Dallas Amateur Radio Club --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Ken Arck [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 08:10 PM 1/12/2006 -0500, you wrote: well I got a tkr-850 with the 210 and it has been working with no problems. love it it is real nice. also in the service book from Kenwood they show the hook up of a Zetron 38 tome panel to the 850 and it used the tone panel for encode and decode.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: tkr repeater encode function.
There's a jumper on the repeater board that will allow up to 8 different ctcss and dcs codes to be used with the factory board. Once the jumper is enabled, you simply program in the extra codes. Otherwise a number of methods to run external controllers have been posted around the web. I've used the CSI tone panels on the repeater and they work just fine. skipp www.radiowrench.com W4HNK [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone controlled the internal functions of the TKR repeaters (encode) with an external controller that would share their findings?
