Aftermarket Repeater Controllers

[amphibian]

Seeking information on any available aftermarket repeater controllers that have MDC-1200 encode/decode option along with ctcss/dcs encode/decode?



Thanks

What is your application that needs MDC1200 capable repeater controller?

Control of repeater access by users???

Thanks.

Control of repeater access by users???

Or: Control of the repeater by a Control Operator? Two different things.

MDC 1200 is easily duplicated.

FWIW, there is a Cimarron Technologies C-Plus Decoder, which they claim can be set up as a repeater controller; Desktop and rack mount decoders for your MDC-1200, Fleetsync, GE Star and DTMF : Cimarron Technologies for ANI Encoders and Decoders

May be kinda pricey for just a hobby, but if a valid business case can be made for it (i.e. customer is willing to pay) to prevent unauthorized use, etc.

There is at least one ham repeater system that uses MDC1200:

I saw this originally the other day before posting the question and after looking at their site, like you say, very pricy for no more than what it is and does. I wanted to at least put the question out there in case I missed something.

I'm just going to move forward with my design for a new controller that has the option to hold many different customer MDC1200 codes and ctcss/dcs combined options. That way I'll have some super flexibility with the project I've got going.

Thank you for sharing though.

I want to say the Quantars were capable of using MDC as an access control requirement (just had to receive a valid MDC). As far as aftermarket support, I've never really seen anything aside from Cimmaron or Midian but I don't believe either of those will handle a database either.

Thank you, iyou are correct on the moto repeater... there were also two of the Kenwood repeaters that offered the same...
