Having problems connecting with repeater . Repeater freq. 1292.1 -20 . Bird Ttriplexer on same freq. I am able to go from a to c and get signal on 880 but can not go from c to a and get signal on id-1 . Controller settings are correct and rp-2v freq are programed .can not get a echo or I input. Cax is a rg 214,we have a full stack and the 2, 440, dd work ok . We are linked on b to a ref- 0048 . The hi side of the triplexer in tied to trans. and the low to rec. Any help or suggestions .

开云体育Are you testing from close proximity to the repeater or far away. Always start with dummy loads on the repeater to make sure it works. ? The DV module shouldn’t be hooked to the low and high ports of a triplexor, the DD should be one of those, and the DV on the low and mid or mid and high. ? It sounds as if you aren’t hearing the DV transmitter. First thing is to make sure that you aren’t listening in the wrong place. Also, watch the current on the repeater and see if it increases when you think that the transmitter is on the air. Can you talk from A to A? Do you see the repeater respond when it hears your signal? ? Switch one of the connections from a working module to the RP-2V and see if it works. ? What if you issues commands, i.e. link from the command line on the gateway computer to the A module. Do you hear anything? ? Ed WA4YIH ? From: D-STAR_23cm@... [mailto:D-STAR_23cm@...]

I may have confused the issue. the triplexer is a bird 4 can duplexer? for dv and a two can for the dd side.At least that is what Bird shows. However I removed the transmit?antenna connection and replaced with another 1.2 antenna ,with out any duplexer connection ,no change.?I will try the rest of Your suggestions. Thanks for the reply.

I think more details are needed. ?I am having a hard time understanding the setup. ?Please provide the following info.
DV Repeater TX Freq. Repeater output RX Freq. Repeater Input DD Freq. Do you have both 1.2GHz modules assigned as A in the controller? ?Are they connected to the proper ports? Have you tested with your ID-1 talking to someone on simplex connected to the triplexer? ? Dave KA9WXN KC9LKZ ?Tech Committee |

The setup is as follows ,triplexer is a Bird ,with two cans for dd and four for dv. the hi side connected to xmit. port and the low side to rec Dv repeater on 1292.1 -20 .DD on 12523. Yes both are assigned to A and connected to proper ports .The dd port is connected to the only port available. on the dd repeater. Access to the repeater is thru a Id 1 . which works fine on A to C program (ID-1 to 880.) .I have proven the ID-1 out by a separate source ,freq are correct . Not sure if it makes any difference however a dv dongle on A does transmit . and rec ok. To do additional checks we hooked the mobile antenna directly to the repeater transmit side with no change . Have tried linking , E,I,U with no change. no other stations within range to try. Next is to change cable from controller, place SWR meter in line and see if any output. The ID-1 is within 5 ft of the repeater ,but antennas are 150 ft apart. The repeater is set to the curve from Bird frequencies .Have confirmed SN. with Bird and there is a match . Have tried on both hi and low power .If you need any more info please advise .Thanks Jim n8ovd 73

Update after all the suggestions and being ready to pull the transmitter and send to Icom The problem was located and corrected. Without all the suggestions I would have just done that, However the vary last thing I suspected turned out to be the problem. The cable from the controller to the repeater (from Icom ) allowed the repeater to rec. but would not key the xmitter. Weeks of fighting the problem went away in five min. Who would have thought that everything else worked except one pin on a new cable. I guess there is something to say for starting from one end and checking all the possibilities ,it's just I started from the wrong end. Thanks again for the help we now have all the stack working as it should . Thanks . Jim 73 n8ovd
