Mobile repeater question

Post by jban »

Can two TK760's be set up as a mobile repeater (like the /\/\ RICK). I am replacing all of my Vol dept mobiles to Moto CDM 1550 and will have quite a few of the TK760 in stock.

Any info appreciated.

I built several crossband links with the TK760 / TK860 set ups several years ago. You should be able to set up 2 TK-760's as in band mobile repeaters provide you have a duplexer. Use the KCT-19 accessory cable and that brings everything out that you need.

e-mail me direct if you need further

Yes with precautions... don't run the radios full power for long key-down times
and/or put a small fan blowing modest air across the transmit radio heat sink.

You'll need the external wire harness adapter, which may be a kct-25 or a
kct-19 depending on the radio.

There would be some additional interface circuits depending if you wanted a
repeater hang time (tail), variable audio level adjustments and some form to
control (on/off) the repeater.

cheers,
