TKR-850 repeater, I am wanting to setup remote channel change for my business, I have all lic, etc. I have all software and cable required for programming and I have experience with programming but cant figure out the QT/DQT remote function on the TKR-850. Can anyone help?

DTMF commands from what i recall

The TKR-851 had DTMF capability. No DTMF capability in the TKR-850.

I can't help the OP with the programming question. I have fixed my share of PA failures in the TKR-850 and TKR-750. The 850 is notorious for PA failures, especially in early Version 1 units. Newer Version 2 units have been more reliable. Turn the power way down and run an external PA that's built like a brick expletive house to keep it reliable.

The TKR-851 had DTMF capability. No DTMF capability in the TKR-850.

The TKR-X50 and the TKR-X51 have the same functions and capabilities. The only difference is the transmit power.

You can program the front panel buttons and remotely "press" those buttons by sending a DTMF string. Set up codes in the decode table and then assign the functions in the remote control window.

Thank you all for your help, got it done with the help of a good member willing to go the mile to get me set. Just gotta get tower setup now. Should be up and running soon.

Yes the TKR-850 does have DTMF capabilities and it is a version 2, I can change up to 6 channels remotely with common setup or up to 12 with multi function i think! Correct me if im wrong, I am only using 2 channels for now.
Thank You Doug, I greatly appreciate your time.
