Btech 50x1, 50x2 repeater

[BNC173]

I asked btech support they said yes and never responded to me again. Can either of these radios be setup like the kg1000 and act as a repeater? If yes can you tell me how and what I need beside duplexer. I assume a cable and programming? Thanks

No, they're not natively set up to be paired into a repeater like the kg1000g.

Could it be accomplished? Sure, with some custom work on cables. The hard part would be getting the audio from the receiver to the input on the transmitter, and and handling the ptt. I don't Remember  if there's a VOX setting or not. I don't know if there's any off the shelf cables that incorporate some or all of the adaptations needed.

Thank You I guess that explains why they never replied when I asked what cables was needed.
