I’ve posted a couple or three questions here about about my repeater. Members have help me along with my collection of equipment. Thanks everyone for that help.
Now, I have constructed a repeater using the 2 - CDM750’s. One for Rx only at 467.xxx and one for tx only at 462.xxx. These radios are cabled to a Motorola Celwave duplexer using low-low 142 cabling. I am using a RIM-Maxtrac RM cabled to a Pi running the GMRS software. With all of that being said, it will not pass the first bit of data, voice, or even be heard from the antenna side. I see the TX light on the TX radio and the RX light on the RX radio as I key my HT, but NO voice.
Here’s the part I do not understand. I CAN hear any call from my antenna on my RX CDM750 as clear as a bell if a have the volume off of zero and I can TX to a friend a mile or so away by using the mic plugged into the TX CDM750 and hear myself on the RX radio!
What am I doing wrong? I’m just before calling it quits and throwing in the towel.

Any ideas??
