My name is David Lardizabal HQ2DDL. I am trying to install and AllstarLink node with a repeater Icom FR 5000 and I am trying to figure out the pinout / setting on repeater. If anyone has done this setup would appreciate the help.
I have all ready have done some testing but I am getting a lot of noice, like the squelch is open and transmitting to connected node, ( I am able to connect to other nodes via line command, I have not been able to get the DTMF tones to work to connect/disconnect to nodes.)
My current pin out is like this:
FR 5000 Repeater DML URI
7 GND =================> 20 GND
8 MOD IN =================> 22 TX AUDIO
9 DISC OUT ================> 21 RX AUDIO
14 GND =================> 19 GND
19 PTT =================> 1 PTT
22 AF OUT =================> 8 COR DET (?)
*** as a Note: I found out in a pin out for RTCM with an ICOM FR6000 repeater;
I recently connected a Micro-Node RTCM to an ICOM FR6000 UHF repeater.
The FR5000/6000 has a DB25 auxiliary connector on the rear.
Here is the sable pin-out I used. Maybe this helps someone else.
FR6000 RTCM
<details class='elided'>
<summary title='Show trimmed content'>···</summary>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pin 11 - 12VDC Out ------------------ Pin 1 +V In
Pin 8 - MOD IN ------------------------- Pin 2 TX Audio
Pin 9 Discriminator ------------------- Pin 3 RX Audio
Pin 21 Analog Audible Out -------- Pin 4 CTCSS In
Pin 14 GND------------------------------ Pin 5 GND
Pin 19 EPTT ---------------------------- Pin 7 PTT
DB25 Shell --- soldered to braid---DB9 Shell
Programming FR6000.
Configured for CTCSS on Receive, no CTCSS on transmit.
Program Pin 21 I/O for Audible Out which is a signal indication when the
receiver is unmuted by squelch/tone.
Program Pin 19 I/O for EPTT - External PTT
First I will say I am not familiar with either device you are
using,
So take all of this with a grain of salt.
I doubt you can take AF OUT and make a COR detect from it without
extra hardware as a VOX circuit etc.
To me, from your connection diagram, It looks like you need to do
one of a few things.
If you can get a valid PL from the radio and use that for your
COR line. (use hard PL for COR)
OR
Use PL (as detected in apt_rpt) for COR - ‘carrierfrom=dsp’
Someone is likely to have a better answer but those are my
thoughts.
Perhaps share a link to the uri makers site for your device for
details on that I could take a better look.

All connections good except for the red one in question.
Change 22 to pin 21 on the FR 5000 and program the I/O pin 21 as an
output. Then assign function “Analog audible” .
set logic to LOW.
This will give you an analog COR that is active low when the
receiver is active-should you require it.
Program I/O pin 19 to an input and select "EPTT" as its function and
set the logic to LOW.
This will make this pin an external ptt.
In you uri set up set the following:
[usb1999]
hdwtype=0
rxboost=1
txboost=1
rxctcssrelax=1
txctcssdefault=103.5
rxctcssfreqs=103.5
txctcssfreqs=103.5
;rxctcssoverride=0
carrierfrom=dsp
ctcssfrom=dsp
rxdemod=flat
txprelim=no
txlimonly=yes
txtoctype=phase
txmixa=voice
txmixb=no
invertptt=0
duplex=1
rxondelay=0
rxnoisefiltype=0
eeprom=0
plfilter=yes
This will set you up using dsp for squelch detection and dsp for rx
tone detection.
This setup requires the Icom to be programmed to transmit the ctcss
tone (if desired). the URI will only send Voice to the Icom.
Calibrate your RXnoise, RXvoice and RXtone. Then set TX Voice.
Save your settings.
If your squelch is open type this at the prompt:
repeater*CLI> radio tune rxsquelch
Current Signal Strength is 681
Current Squelch setting is 500
if your squelch setting is below your signal strength, set the
squelch to something about 25 points above the current signal
strength.
repeater*CLI> radio tune rxsquelch 700
press enter.
Save settings.
This set up will require a ctcss tone of 103.5 Hz to access the
receive.
Also, if you intend to use the allstar node to repeat then set the
channel in the repeater to “duplex” .
This is to ensure the allstar node is repeating and not the Icom.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
