Pyramid SVR-200UDW repeater info...

[SurgePGH]

I have 2 Pyramid SVR-200UDW repeaters. What I am going to attempt to do is wire them to each other in an attempt to have a low power in band repeater. Has anyone here attempted this? Is it able to do this? I am ready to tackle this project but am looking for some insight.

The pin outs make the following available to me at the DB-9 connector...

Gnd
TX Audio Out
Remote enable/ disable
PTT Out
Switched B+
RX Audio in
COR
Local Mic in
On Air Detect

Any thoughts??

Thanks,

Dave

I suggest you contact pyramid and ask them, they should give you an answer. They publish application notes for connection to many types of radios which includes all the necessary connections and internal jumper setting and programming to make it work. They may even make a cable that will do what you want to do. Check out their webpage Pyramid Communications and their application note page: Pyramid Communications

I've been all through their site. No mention of repeater to repeater setups or cables. I might have to give them a call but figured someone here might have dove into this already.

you need to read http://www.pyramidcomm.com/pdf/manuals/SVR2MAN.PDF to set levels and possibly know where to make any internal mods necessary. as far as what to hook where, looks simple enough if you understand what those items mean. a combination of electronics knowledge and the manual i linked gives the answer in under 5 mintues. i'm not trying to down you or be a smart a**, but if you don't know enough to follow those then you need to learn the principles and theory behind it before attempting this.

since this is inband, what are you going to do to keep the TX from getting into the RX of the other unit and locking it up in a loop? are your freqs far enough apart to permit antenna spacing alone to do it, or will you require a reject filter to notch out the TX freq?

Typically when someone types 'I'm not trying to...' they are. I have the manuals. I have everything at my disposal BUT someone that has actually done this and has some insite. If you have nothing to contribute other than a link and a smarta$$ jab then go elsewhere. I posted this in hopes that someone already attempted this and either says 'yep, it works great, try this & this' or someone that says 'I tried it and it was not worth the effort' or 'Hey, the easiest way to link them is to use this pre-made cable, set your jumpers, set your levels, tune your filters, hook up the antennas and presto'

'nuff said.
