• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Hi guys. Anyone have a Icom CY5000 or CY6000 repeater using an external controller? I have a CY5000 and need to put a controller on it. I will be utilizing the 25 pin connector on the rear panel of the repeater.

What I need to know is: What pin is best suited for RX audio out? The manual shows pins 9 and 22.
Pin 9 specified as DISC OUT Output level: 300mV RMS."
Pin 22 is specified as simply "AF detector out"

What is better suited for the RX audio?

In the past, I have always used discriminator audio because it was handy. With this repeater it seems I have options.

Hello!

Analog mode = DISC OUT (I'm sure you can use AF out but "raw" audio is better IMHO).
Digital mode = AF detector out (don't forget to set the min AF out at least 1 in the programming software).
