I'm building a GMRS repeater using two Motorola M1225 mobile radios and a Fumei 462/467 duplexer. I bought a repeater cable for interconnecting the two 1225's, and have it in-place. It's the cable most commonly found on eBay, with six conductors wired and the small blue trimmer pot on each end. I found a sample configuration for the M1225s on Bat Labs, but it doesn't work well. I have managed to get the radios configured so that when my 467.55 RX radio receives a signal from my portable test radio # 1, it shows receiving status, and I hear my voice when I turn up the volume on the RX radio. I can also see that the 462.55 TX radio on the other end of the repeater cable is transmitting (getting the lightning bolt on the left of the LCD), but on my portable test radio # 2 monitoring the 462.55 frequency I cannot hear my voice. I hear the dead carrier, and a slight hum, but no voice at all. All of the PL tones are matched up across the board. I've tried adjusting the trimmer pots on both ends of the repeater cable, but it doesn't make any difference. I am questioning the External Accessory port settings in the 1225 code plugs, and not sure which pins need to be configured, and how they need to be configured. Does anyone have a correctly-detailed code plug configuration list that they can provide for the M1225s to be used with this repeater cable to make it function properly? Or, some suggestions on how to fix the audio issue?
