Motorola CM200 and Arcom RC210

[n5rkn]

Has anyone put CM200's up as a repeater while using the RC210 controller? We have reached a stop where we know the CM200s are properly programmed, and cabling between radios and/or to the controller should be correct. They both hear fine and individually they transmit fine, but once connected to the new RC210, it acts like it's not getting enough power with very faint lit LEDs. I'm not the tech on this project, but rather one of our amateur radio club members. He has become very frustrated.

First step would be to measure the voltage going to each box while receiving and transmitting. What is the current rating of the power supply?

I always start looking for short circuits with a DMM when things are connected and LEDs start lighting dimly.

You may need some buffering on the COR input.

The CM200 accessory I/O is an open collector with an internal pull up to 3.3V. The RC210 needs to see 5 to 15 volts for a high or < 0.6 volts for a low. With the COR sitting right in between your likely to get some weird effects.
