- Very easy to set up and operate
- Uses the ICS operating system
- Values entered in volts, seconds, WPM (Even Fractional Values)
- Uses More, Good, Bad, indications when programming in values and parameters
- All programmable data stored in onboard EEPROM
- Over 130 functions available (and more to come...)
- Has excellent support for X banding - Interoperability -
One service can talk to another
- Programmable courtesy tones
- Seperate, full control receiver input, seperate COS and
audio inputs
DTMF Control System
- DTMF for programming and control
- DTMF control using Port 2 if enabled
- 25 DTMF programmable code / function memories
- Each DTMF code can be programmed to be from 1 to 5
digits
- Has DTMF muting on both ports (can be disabled)
- In programming mode all functions can be entered in
directly using their 2 or 3 digit number
- Setup mode (programming mode) Control op mode and User mode
Electronic Control System
- High quality JFET opamps - Top audio quality, High output
- High quality JFET transistors used in the audio circuit
- Low rolloff <50hz CLICK to see the Response Graphs
- Programmable timer for TX fan control
- Programmable courtesy tones
- Microprocessor control of encode and decode
- Beacon mode
- Programmable Antikerchunker filter
- Discriminator or straight through audio for all 3
receiver ports
- By adding a resistor audio can go from the control RX to the repeater TX
- Seven high quality pots (Bourns) for level adjustments
- Nine LED's for system status indication
- Built in Watchdog timer
- The Linker IIa has 3 auxilliary outputs (one or two are shared with port 2)
CTCSS and COS
- Full control receiver port, COS, audio and has priority
- Separate Plug for a third party encode / decode module (TS 64)
- COS only, CTCSS only, AND, OR functions avaiable on ports 1
and 2
- Encode is mixed in with the transmitter's audio if enabled
- Voltage and polarity selectable COS input for the control receiver
- Voltage and polarity programmable COS and CTCSS inputs for
both port 1 and 2
- Special dedicated 10 pin plug for port 1 CTCSS
- A programmable encode hang timer and can be
enabled / disabled
- Antikerchunker filters on Port 1 and Port 2
- Port 1 and Port 2 activate TX1 encode, if enabled, port
selectable
Remote Base / Link functions (Port 2)
- Port 2 can be setup as half duplex, full duplex, slave
repeater and xpeat
- Remote base memories are controlled by the Linker IIa controller
- Remote base memory number readback after the memory is
selected and by request
- Selection of a remote base memory is done just by selecting the memory number
- The remote base control system remembers the current remote base memory
- The Linker IIa will return the remote base to the home
memory when disabled
