Re: GM300 repeater setup/programing

What we ended up doing was programming one radio as RICK Receive and one as RICK Transmit. This coupled with an ebay style RICKless cable made it work just fine.

How do we program the accesory cable to make it work as a repeater? I believe pin 8 is programmed for COR, but have lost my notes and am having issues searching. Mahalo

The kenwoods are dependable and durable.

You buy the radio and it will do whatever you want through user programmable keys, not through bulky menus or hundred dollar fees per option per radio.

When you shut the moto salesman up and look at what you get per radio, kenwood becomes a clear choice.
