Trident had their own terminal program called Tcomm. I have a copy of it around somewhere. As I recall, it was from Win95 era, but would run on WinXP. I would NOT recommend using a Trident Raider panel unless you've got a copy of the manual (along with a few hours to read it). Trident was selling those for LTR use, and as I recall, you have to assign the user an LTR ID# - but then tell the panel that particular ID# was going to be using conventional PL or DPL - and then use a translation table to assign the particular tone code parameters to that ID#.
I can tell you that the Raider panels are reliable - I still have a few in service that are approaching 25 years with zero problems.
i20r panels still pop up now and then on Ebay. They were nice to use with the GR series repeaters, but I wouldn't spend big bucks to flog a GR300 back to life. There's better alternatives out there nowadays.
Never programmed an LTR system, not a problem to run old dos or windows stuff here, you know how motorola stuff is, might go for gr1225 if i don't find an i20r soon, never had a gr1225.

The i20r controller he had sent CW ID in CSQ mode. Only PL was on when the RX radio received the PL (tones). The Communications Specialist controller does the same thing. Its all how the controller is programed and radios are programmed. Built many of those repeaters when i was at the shop with the i20, zetron, comm spec and other controllers at the time. Most commercial controllers will accomplish what the user is looking for. A ham/hobby controller will not.
@mikevman I'd search ebay for a CommSpec TP3200, CSI 32, Zetron CR-310 or any of the Trident controllers. They pop up on and off but finding one the size of the i20 may be challenging. Most are 19" rack mounted.
Thanks for those suggestions, that helps me, most of the specs. i could find on controllers in the past don't tell me if it has that id feature, i did check out that trident, looks nice, are those and the others programmed through the rss or cps like the i20r?.

sorry for the confusion, us old farts talk like everyone knows what we mean, yes out tone is just not TX the cw id with the encode tone on, that way we just don't have to hear it, could not have explained it better gortex2 and wrkc935, the i20r did have power in the first couple of components but that's as far as we got with testing, while we were transporting it fell on the street and got ran over, a quick death, just the i20r not the whole repeater, i gave it a nice burial, thanks for the controller suggestions gortex2, that i20r just fits so good in the gr300 box, i guess my question did help some new people understand what in and out tone cw id means.

I have an ID-O-Matic that is about 7 years old but did not do out tone id, maybe the new one's do, that's something to check.

Well thanks guys, i do need to TX my cw id to have a legal repeater, i just want the controller to TX the cw id in out tone mode so you don't have to hear it when it id's like my good old i20r controller did.

Hi all, i am looking for a controller that has no tone cw id for a gr300 repeater, i had a i20r but it died, i know some zetron controllers have cw id but does not say if it is in tone or out, If anyone can let me know what controllers do this besides my good old i20r it would help me a bunch, thanks.
Wanted repeater controller with no tone cw id for GR300.
