gortex2 Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 If its the true CY repeater yes. Sold many when I was at a radio shop. Basically 2 121 mobiles with a duplexer and custom controller in the box. Great low power repeater for home use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidloudermilk Posted July 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Do I need to program the custom controller as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAF6045 Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 If one radio module is used for receive and the other is used for transmit, then both will need to have the appropriate frequencies and tones programmed in. The controller probable needs programming as well (no experience, but I suspect the controller handles the repeater ID requirement, at the least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortex2 Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Just program both radios then have the shop re-tune the duplexer. The controller has dip switches for hang time and repeater enable. Here is the manual that has the dip switch stuff. No ID built in. We used an external COMM SPEC repeater panel on some so they could have MPL. This was not designed as a full blown repeater but really a small construction style unit to take from place to place. Basically to complete with the MSI GR300/500 series repeaters. https://www.icomamerica.com/en/downloads/DownloadDocument.aspx?Document=71 davidloudermilk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
