Motorola Quantar Intellirepeater Single Site-VOC Configuration

[ncicchino]

Hi All,

Wanted to ask if anyone here has experience on setting up a single-site, voice on control channel configuration on a Motorola Quantar using the Intellirepeater system type, along with the correct APX programming fields. I have been testing different configurations and have not been able to successfully configure this. I receive an Out of Range message with my current Type II configuration.

My understanding after reading documentation is that this is possible, and would typically be used in a condition where a site could not be part of a SmartZone network for which ever reason.

I'm looking to explore this for private use instead of my current Astro Conventional configuration, enabling different talk groups to be leveraged. I am aware that if a talk group is in use another will not transmit, which I am perfectly fine with.

In order to keep the frequencies private, I'll use the pair below for example only. I can put the different repeater configurations I have tried if necessary, but in effort to keep this post short and sweet omitted it for now.

TX: XXX.5050
RX: XXX.4000

Thank you all in advance for your help and thoughts on this!

Is the repeater transmitting ? Thats step 1. Until its transmitting control channel data a subscriber wont remotely work.

If you are in VHF or UHF you will need to review your FCC license carefully. If there is any doubt you will need to talk to a coordinator to make the necessary adjustments to your license before you make any technical changes.

Understanding FCC's trunked radio rules

Because some users perhaps are not properly installing trunked systems — therefore causing significant interference — this is a good time to review the FCC's rules on VHF/UHF trunking.

Thanks, but this post is strictly about configuration, and confirming the equipments capabilities, not licensing.
