Re: [Repeater-Builder] WX-200 with CAT-1000

Mike, I'm doing just what you want but not with a CAT1000 but rather an SCOM 7K. I have the audio from the WX200 being fed into one of the three ports on the 7K and have made that port the lowest priority. This way, we receive all of the weather reports from the WX200 but if someone has an

Hi Skip and all the guys! The 7K is working just fine. It seems that I have locked out all responses, all the id's are off, no time announcements, no normal announcements (I was programming it to do just that, minimum responses!) The weird thing right now is the controller hears the

Hello there, My system is a Dell Pentium II I think also. It runs a 233 MHZ processor with 256MB RAM. It works fine as far as Echo link is concerned and I just put a Sound Blaster Audagy 2 in there and it stold the sound so the Audagy should work fine also. Got to get me one more sound card

The rather painfully obvious question is: did you write down what you were changing? If so, you can go through the changes made and see what needs to be done to reverse the damage, or at least where you made the error. If not then. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello Tyler, I am pretty sure the voter require discriminator (flat RX), in order to evaluate the SNR correctly. Using pin 11 on Maxtrac is fine but make sure you change JU551 to the A position. (see http://batlabs.com/maxrad.html 9600 baud packet conversion) You will probably have to de-emphase

I've found that not every I/O pin in the 16 pin accessory connector is created equal, though Pin8, IIRC is one of the good ones. The bi- directional ones are a bit goofy since regardless of input or out put configuration, both sets of electronics are connected, but I've had more problems

Adam, I didn't know it until today, but yes. On the CAT-1000, port 1 had priority over port 2, so if I hook the WX-200 to port 2, I'm good. The only hitch is, we're planning on linking 2 repeaters and we'd need port 2 for the link. I can solve that problem by using a relay on the link
