Don't get any more modules. A repeater controller only needs receive audio,
COR, power and transmit input.
I'll leave the controller to others....
If you don't have a continuous duty PA, then turn the power DOWN to about 65
watts and use a fan!!!

I just acquired a Motorola MSR2000 VHF 100w 4 ch base station, originally
set up for remote (two wire DC/tone) operation.
I want to convert this radio to a 2 meter repeater, and I understand that
a
"squelch gate" module (TRN5324A), with some modifications is the "main
thing" needed to make the conversion from base to repeater operations.
My questions are:
1. The instruction manual says that a "time out timer" module (TRN5295A)
is standard with the factory repeater configuration. Is this module
absolutely necessary for repeater operation (circuit wise)? Are there FCC
regs requiring or "good practice" conventions, so that installing a time
out timer is a must or highly recommended? (the PA/PS is 100% duty cycle)
2. What is the best, easily programmable, Morse CWID board available,
that requires minimum modification to the MSR2000 circuitry? (I want to
do
a "clean" installation.)
3. What other control modules should be left installed for repeater
operation? Presently the installed modules are: line driver, station
control module, guard tone decoder, squelch gate, four frequency control,
and R1 Audio.
4. Are there any RX-TX tune up issues (anything quirky)?
Thanks for any advise, or experience in advance,
Brian Litzenberger
