[CPS programming issues w/cdm1250 for repeater w/id-o-matic]

I have had a GMRS repeater active running 2 Motorola M1225LS radios using an ID-O-MATIC 4 controller and everything was working very good. Unfortunately one of my M1225LS radios failed, so I thought I would use a couple CDM1250's I have that are in excellent condition. I called Dan who builds the ID-O-MATIC controller and he said that the wiring configuration that was setup for the M1225LS radios would be the same for the CDM1250's. So I hooked everything up. Opened up my CPS software, and reprogrammed the CDM1250's to work (what I thought) as a repeater. I am able to key the repeater with my handheld via the RX radio, and the ID-O-Matic keys the TX radio just as it should. The problem IS........ There is no audio passing through the controller through the TX radio. I have tried, and tried to play around with the settings to get it to work with NO LUCK. I am not at all a wizard with the CPS software by no means. (And I'm sure I have things messed up with both TX, and RX radios). Anyone have a working code-plug for the CDM1250 that will work using an ID-O-MATIC controller? I am at my wits end. All help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

WRUW570, 

I am running two CDM mobiles and the ID-O-Matic 4 in my repeater setup. I have found that occasionally regardless of programming, if the receive radio's volume is turned down, as in if you can't hear yourself talking, it will not pass audio, however I get my transmit audio from pin 11 of the receiver (discriminated audio) instead of pin 5 (flat audio), this may be the difference in my situation as I have never used pin 5 of the receiver to acquire the audio for the transmitter. I have found this on more than one occasion, so that may be something to look at. 

Here are screenshots of the accessory pins and accessory configuration on my setup. Hope this helps.... if you still need it, I can send you the codeplugs.

***Using Pin 4 and 12 is not required, I use pin 4 as a remote knockdown using MDC-1200 and DTMF and pin 12 as a Repeater Controller reset. ***

[Need a antenna for my repeater]

Since the conversation is titled "Need a antenna for my repeater" I'm guessing you're looking for a Repeater Antenna?.... I know, a lucky guess... I have been using a Comet CA-712EFC  at just 20 feet above the ground for over a year now and have had phenominal results. The antenna link was the cheapest I quickly found, most places are out of stock but there are a few that have them in stock but at a slightly higher price.

Hey everyone, there was an issue this morning with showing the repeaters. It's been fixed, so let me know if you still have any issues.

They are showing again! Thanks!

FYI, same here. Not seeing any repeaters on the map at all and the search page generates an error message for all searches.

Same here, I sent a bug report.

Same here.  I have not reported it yet.  Probably wouldn't hurt for you to let them know just in case.

 

Shew..... glad to know I'm not the only one. Thanks. I'll send a report.

Hey fellas, I'm new to the forum, and new to GMRS. I'm not sure if this is worthy of a bug report, so before I report it, are you all able to see the repeaters on the map? I listed my repeater a couple of weeks ago, and now it doesn't even show in the "My Repeaters" or on my profile? Am I missing something? 

 

Thanks,
