Motorola repeater and CP200/CM200 question

[ve3zo]

Not sure if I am asking this in the right forum...if not forgive me


My place of employment ( auto parts factory ) recently installed a repeater as a means of communication for various departments.

The supervisors are using cp200 portables, the forklift drivers are using cm200 mobile radios.

I know the frequency pair....450 MHz range with a standard 5Mhz + split and a 67.0 PL.

I am not using a Motorola radio, I can key the repeater just no audio comes over the motorola radios.

Can anyone help???


I am encouraged to use my radio at work to get in touch with right department.

Please...if I am going to be ridiculed about a modified radio then do not answer my post..

I have no idea what the rules are in the land of the big leaf, but from what I have read they really don't care what you do so take your stick out of your butt :lol:

What I have seen on this forum is many people truly do not know it is against the FCC regs (for us yanks) to do what some of them do. If someone already knows the full impact of what they are doing, that's up to them.

I think it's a little screwy that they want you to use your own radio, but I guess they think anything that saves them money is ok with them :roll:

Things to check...

Are you sure you programmed everything correctly?

Have you tried programming it as simplex to see if your audio comes out of another radio? If it does, then that narrows down one thing.

Have whoever provided/programmed the other radios look at yours.
PL tone not programmed or not to spec (off in freq, over/under deviating)?
Transmit frequency not accurate?
Noise in your transmitter going through the repeater and making the other receivers have difficulty decoding the PL?
