NX-700

[paradioman]

I have two NX-700's and I have been messing around to make a repeater out of them on NXDN. I do not want to spend all the money for a NXR. Is there any way to make two NX-700's into a NXDN repeater? Or just a plain repeater.

If you figure out a way to do it, I'd love to know.
I'd be really surprised if you couldn't just connect the two radios to a controller via their accessory connector. But the big question is does that convert the received digital signal to analog in the process. That might not be a deal breaker. I have no idea but I'd like to cross band repeat with two NXDN mobiles myself. I never got around to playing with it.

Yep, the NX-x00's would put out analog audio off the rear connector, and doing the "double conversion" from D -> A and A ->D usually ends up sounding like crap. You can certainly try it, but you'd probably have better luck either keeping it analog all the way, or getting the proper NXR repeater.

All the connections you'd need to interface a repeater controller will be on the rear DB25.

Its quite possible to do this as has been stated in the post above...yes it will accept NXDN...it will affect the audio and its not as clean as a true nxdn repeater but it is workable and is often used for vehicle repeaters for nxdn
