Re: PSC9600 Questions

You can run the PSC9600 in single site mode, you're just going to be in "Site Trunking". This equipment is from the ASTRO 6.x time period, and as such requires Quantar stations with later rev SCM's and a special wireline board that contains an ethernet port on it that the PSC9600 interfac...

So.. The radio shop and I thought this would work.. RIC = 333B 800Mhz Radio = MCS2000 Repeater = Quantar The MCS2000 is connected through the bottom connector to the Ric. Quantar connected using 25pair am-phenol cable connector on the back. We attempted to use the am/fm muting option on the MCS2000 ...

Hello, I need to take an Astro Spectra that is listening to a Trunking talkgroup and connect it to a two way RIC. I will either connect the other side of the RIC to a UHF Radio or directly to our UHF Quantar repeater. I have the radio shop supposedly looking at completing this task, however our loca...

(Heliax and antenna) Both suppliers state that they can get the codeplug done with our frequencies once they've been assigned. Is there any words of wisdom some could pass my way? I ha...

construct a smartnet system

Hello,

I have seen a few smart net controllers out on ebay. How hard is it to put a site together and to maintain it?

Is it all terminal interface or is it RSS/CPS for the controller to?

Does anyone have any technical / maintenance manuals in pdf?

Thanks
