A few years ago I build several of these portable Icom repeaters using F200, F300, F500 and F600series radios.
I build these as both in band and cross band systems. No problems as long as you set the program correctly.
When I build the first set, I got the OP617 cables and the cross connect cable from Preston.
When I recieved the cross connect, I took a look at it and then went and got the DB9's and build my own.
In the last 6 months I have build two more repeaters and again had no problems getting DB9's.
I can not believe that every one is having problems getting DB9's.
How many people wish to have these cross connect devices and how many do you want?
Give me a couple of days and I will build as many as every one wish's.
I am even getting ready to build these repeaters using the F5000/6000 series radios and they will use DB15 connectors.
At this time, if any one wishes for me build these, pricing to include mailing is looking like about
$12-15.
These will be all tested and working correctly at time of mailing.
Email me and let me know.
