Hi Artie, Regardless of what make and model repeater equipment you choose, be sure to actually check the receiver discriminator output performance. I traced problems in a system running LTR and DCS Data back to one model of lower priced desktop repeater receiver. (also known as a two mobiles made into a repeater).
The receiver discriminator output was just horrible for any type of data output. I replaced the low cost receiver (the entire repeater actually) with a Kenwood TKR-850 (I sold them) and their LTR/DCS system now works mucho great. CTCSS operation is relatively easy to implement but reliable data requires a faithful receiver discriminator output. Or make sure you have the ability to return the equipment if it doesn't pass the technical muster (requirements) cheers, skipp >"k2aau" <k2...@...> wrote: > > Has anyone done any comparison testing between the HYT > Repeater and The Motorola Trbo repeater?
