Hi all,
I'm helping out a friend in getting an intercom system working at a new (old) farm they've got. There are a bunch of CPI DR10 remotes scattered around the house and the various buildings and those all work fine. Where the challenge comes in, is there used to be a Motorola Base station at some point but that was ripped out by the old owner, so all is left are a twisted pair and a power supply. There was a box of radios left about (Motorola Radius m1225, SM50 and a CM200) which i picked up to test with and a couple of the DR10 remotes.
I have also picked up a CPI MR100 and an MR200(N) from eBay in hopes of getting this to work, but both boxes yield the same result. I am able to get audio from the Motorola into the DR10 stations, however, when I TX from the DR10 station, neither box keys up the Motorola. The goal is to have 2 way comms from handhelds around the property to the stations and vice versa.
I'm a ham so have radio experience, however, this is the first time I'm dealing with a remote system, so it's a bit outside my wheelhouse. As I can't get either boxes working, I'm sure I'm missing a critical part somewhere, so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
