I have a Motorola MTR 2000 repeater. I have an ICS Controller board in the J5 system connector, going to a URIxB via the DB-9 to DB-25, assembled by me. I've done days worth of research to no avail. The repeater & URI both show TX if I key the radio in the simple_usb_tune menu. Hitting the repeater with a HT, RX lights up but no TX on the URI or MTR. Not sure if this is RSS programming or on the URI/Asterisk side. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all!

So I am thinking, that little Raspberry box might have more left in it that can be of use at a repeater site. External control of "other" devices. For starters cooling fans based on a temp sensor input. Loss of power resulting in transfer to backup. Backup battery state. Solar charging system state And more.... With the Pi GPIOs external in-outs the hardware is there. I do realize there are probably some repeater controllers running out there that already incorporate some of these functions, but mine do not. So the questions comes down to... Can PHP be loaded along with Asterisk? This would require opening Port 80 so a "Dashboard" of monitored points and access to functions could be accessed remotely. Is there enough horsepower and memory? I believe the Pi myGMRS is sending out is a 3 B+ 1.4 gig 64 bit quad core processor with a gig of memory. (not sure the Linux version running can utilize the 64 bit though). Over thinking it? Too much time on my hands? Just add another Raspberry to handle these operations?
