berkinet Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 has any one used the id o matic controlers?radio dan has them for about 80.00Yes. IMHO, the functionality is minimal. Some people are fans, however, I was not impressed. There was a thread on this about a year ago, you could try searching for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCM Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 I use the ID-O-Matic, and am a fan. In fact I plan to get a couple more of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioguy7268 Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 for the OP - I believe that an M208 can be programmed using the generic Radius M100 CPS. I believe "RADMBL" is the keyword to search on & find the program at HamFiles. The GR300 was a nice & simple design, but we called them "hot boxes" due to the heat issues that killed high power applications. Keep it as a 10 watt & under repeater with clean, cool air flowing, and they worked well. I'd be concerned about trying to run it as a 40 watt repeater with anything more than a 5 or 10% duty cycle.

quarterwave Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 I've had one of these on a secondary repeater (a couple of Radius or Maxtracs) for a number of years. Adjustable audio, hang time, and it works great. https://www.ebay.com/itm/RA-1M-Repeater-Adaptor-Motorola-GM300-CDM1250-RICK/120729366251?hash=item1c1c07eeeb:g:AYwAAMXQOT5Q-Fsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
