Good evening,?
Has anyone heard if the?IDRP1200VD?is EOL?
Got an email back from Icom stating:
"I don’t believe we sell this item anymore, and there is currently no information on whether it will be available again"?

Michael,
I believe all of the repeaters in that generation are EOL.? Our RP2C died, so all of the repeaters are out of service, and ICOM can no longer repair the RP2C.
Let me know if you're interested in one of the repeaters.? We still have the RP2V and RP2D.

Erik,
Thanks for the insight! I guess I am confused.? Looking at Icom's website and HRO, it appears the current models are the Gen 3 ID-RP2010V, ID-RP4010V and IDRP1200DV. HRO has the ID-RP2010V in stock.?
Can someone point me to the evolution of the DSTAR repeaters??
Any 1.2 repeaters that you have that I could deploy in Houston,? I would interested.

I have one more Gen 1 1200DV module you can have.? $50 is the shipping cost.? ?Best to have it on the air vs in my basement.??

This is AI4UE , I like to get it and put it on air in Burlington to cover more range?

You should be able to use any of the new Gen 3 repeater modules as your new controller to get the Gen 2 stack up again and sell off any spare Gen 2 modules.??

Michael and Erik,
Our RP2-C also died and we also learned that Icom can no longer repair them.? We purchased a Gen 3 UHF repeater and replaced the VHF machine with a Fusion repeater.? So the 1.2 DV and DD repeaters are available to someone who'd like to put them to use.? I'm in Salado (50 miles north of Austin) and they could be picked up here.?

Michael,
I can't really guarantee the repeaters are fully functional.? We only know that when the controller failed, all of the repeaters stopped working.? I called the service people at Icom and talked with one of the folks there about our problem.? They'd seen it before, and they had tried to repair one of the controllers involved and couldn't do it.? That marked the end of the G2 systems.? But reading the exchanges among the 23cm ops, I gather that one G3 repeater can host at least one G2 machine.? So you might want to look into that option while you're deciding what to do with this option.
Hope this helps.

FYI,
Over 5+ years ago my RP2C controller died.? I sent it to Icom.? They said it was not something they could repair.? They offered me a replacement circuit board that had been repaired for $99.? I said OK!? They also sent me back the bad board that did not show any signs of repair, even when viewed under a mag-light.? BUT, the board they sold me upon inspection had shown that all of the memory chips had been replaced.? There was no documentation or conversations with Icom that netted any more information.? The controller has since worked without fail.
The full stack repeater is in Westland, Michigan,? W8DTW is the call.? I have retired and moved 285 miles north.? There are no 1.2GHZ repeaters up here.? So I have no use for my two ID-1's.? I would consider selling them.

Shanon,
We'd have liked that kind of response from Icom, but ours was different.? I'd sent our controller to them and didn't hear a thing for a couple weeks.? Then, late on a Friday afternoon, a woman called to tell me they had tried to repair an RP2C and had had no luck.? They returned ours without charge.
I'm glad to see that yours has been doing well.? Too bad you've had to move away from the area it's serving.? Enjoy your retirement!

We have a couple of 1.2 DV machines up- crickets.? ? Erik, NY9D ? ? ? ? ? Michael, I believe all of the repeaters in that generation are EOL.? Our RP2C died, so all of the repeaters are out of service, and ICOM can no longer repair the RP2C. Let me know if you're interested in one of the repeaters.? We still have the RP2V and RP2D.

Has anyone heard if the?IDRP1200VD?is EOL?
Got an email back from Icom stating:
"I don’t believe we sell this item anymore, and there is currently no information on whether it will be available again"?
