I need to tune the VCO for my amateur frequency in the TKR-750. Does this unit need to be hooked to the computer and set in some way before tuning? I am at the very low end of what the repeater will program to at 147.060 and I can't get the right voltage on the Test Point by tuning the capacitor.

Are you tuning the TX or the RX VCO? The K and the K2 overlap coverage from 146 to 150mhz. From what I understand the RX pre-select really determines freq coverage on those models. - Original Message - From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com To:

Try writing a default file to the repeater. Test then program your data. Make sure it is the correct one for the band. If you by accident write a vhf file to a uhf model you will have a door stop and will have to go back to Vertex. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -Original

It only says K-1. Goes from 146.000 to 174.000 or something near that. I am confused at what the manual calls firmware. Is that like bios in a computer or does it also take in programming the channels. Also the manual talks about holding PF1 while turning on the repeater to put it in

Re: [Repeater-Builder] TKR-750

2009-04-07 Thread NORM KNAPP
Sounds like you have a K-1 alright. Firmware is kinda like BIOS. Holding dowd PF-1 while powering up puts it into FIRMWARE program mode. The number of decimals or periods showing on the display tell you what baud rate to program the firmware in at. Now, do you have a version 1 or 2 radio? What
