Connecting repeaters to myGMRS.

[shawnvanhorn]

I have 2 repeaters i would like to set up to connect to myGMRS. One is a Kenwood TKR-850, and one is an Icom FR-4000. Can anyone help me with the 25 pin connections that need to be connected to make this happen? Is there any certain set up in each of the repeaters I will have to program? Will a Raspberry Pi 4B work?  Will the Pi connect wireless by Wi-Fi or does it have to be hard wired? Can you connect an external device for like severe weather?

Pi4 will not work unless you modify the image. Get a 3b or 3b+. They will work wirelessly. Check the mygmrs store for the 25pin cable. There's programs you can put on the pi for severe weather. Check youtube on how to do it. Make sure you back up your image and files before trying incase you have to restore. 

 

Edit:

Here's a pdf I found that might help you for the weather
