Hello all,
I have been given an...interesting...challenge to work through. I was recently informed that an agency I am working with will be receiving the new Harris Unity system for the Incident Management Teams. That said, one of our biggest necessities is the ability to deploy portable crossband repeaters. According to the Harris representative, the XG-100Ms do not currently have anything developed for them that will allow them to function as a Crossband repeater. So, here is my challenge: figure out how to wire two of these radios together as a crossband repeater. I have done this with the IC-F121/221, as that has been our primary radio, but those were easy. There were already step-by-step instructions for that!
So, as best as I can figure, what needs to happen is I need to find a way to connect via the microphone port (these will be dedicated systems that no longer need mics) the Input of one to the Output of the other, and vice versa. I also need to find a way to get one radio, when receiving, to key the other. How difficult, really, is that? Am I looking at something that I should just leave to a full-fledged design company to work on, or can I actually accomplish this?
Thank you in advance.
