Hello Experts. I have a very unique situation, its a client based need I have. I cannot use IP Site Connect, Capacity/Linked Capacity Plus etc...
What I need to do is have a portable radio transmit to a repeater (which from what I understand they have to be using the same freq. obviously opposites), then I need to have a 2nd repeater that receives from repeater 1, and transmits on a different freq to a control radio which collects the GPS data.
The reason for this, is I need to use the scan function to talk on an analog channel. However I am trying to create a multi site scenario, without having the radio subscriber have to change channels / zones to ensure the data keeps moving to control radio.
What I am trying to avoid doing is rendering all my equipment obsolete and switching to Kenwood. I can do what I need to in the NXDN series, however it will be a costly switch over for the short term. I apologize, if this question seems silly. I literally have tried every backdoor angle possible and have come up at a dead end everytime.
The only hold up is the analog talk channel, however it is a very important piece of what we do.
The portable radios will stay on the same digital channel at all times, and each remote site will have 2 repeaters. For Example:
Portable Radio:
RX: 153.xxx
TX: 158.xxx
Mobile Command Center:
Repeater 1 (based in mobile command center) for ARS purposes
RX: 158.xxx
TX: 153.xxx
Control Radio 1 (inside mobile command center):
RX: 153.xxx
TX: 158.xxx
Mobile repeater site:
Repeater 1: (the transmit on this repeater will be turned to 1 watt)
RX: 158.xxx
TX: 153.xxx
Repeater 2:
RX: 153.xxx
TX: 170.xxx
Control Radio 2 (inside mobile command center):
RX Only: 170.xxx
Can this work?
I have set up this scenario, and I cannot seem to get the two repeaters to talk.
Thanks in advance for your help.
