----------------------------- Accessories ---------------------------- DL-1000C Audio Delay
Add an audio delay to your CAT-1000, CAT-700B, CAT-300DXL, CAT-300, CAT-250, or CAT-200B controller. When placed in the receive audio path, the DL-1000C will eliminate the first chirp of DTMF tone during muting and the squelch crash noise present on many repeater systems. A dip-switch selects delays of 62.5, 125, 250 or 500 milliseconds. The delayed audio is faithfully reproduced. With the addition of an audio gate, the DL-1000C is fully compatible with discriminator audio.
The board size is 2.5 X 3.5 inches.
This is a plug and play accessory. No soldering required.
DR-1000B Digital Voice Recorder
Add a digital voice recorder to your CAT-1000, CAT-700B, CAT-300DXL, or CAT-300 controller. The DR-1000B provides true voice message announcements on your repeater system. Substitute DVR tracks for voice messages, speed dial identifications and courtesy tones. The DVR tracks are protected during power failures. Tracks can be recorded, played or erased in any order. Record tracks through the repeater's receiver or the telephone line. A signal report test is also included. Enter a DTMF command to record a seven second test message. Un-key and the test message will play back. You instantly know how your signal sounds through the repeater. Total record time is four minutes. Sixteen audio tracks provide sufficient message capacity. Maximum track length is thirty seconds. Eight expanded user function switches are included. The board size is 4.5 X 3.0 inches and will easily mount in the RME-1000 enclosure next to the CAT-1000 , CAT-700, CAT-300DXL, or CAT-300 controller. This is a plug and play accessory. 
RLS-1000B Remote Link Switch
Use the new RLS-1000B Remote Link Switch to connect three transceivers to the remote base input port of any controller including the CAT-1000, CAT-700B, CAT-300DXL, CAT-250, and the CAT-200B controllers. Transceiver selection is accomplished by grounding control lines. Since the audio and COR inputs are mixed, all three transceivers can be selected at the same time.
Board Dimension 7.0 X 3.0 Inches
RLS-1000 (left) mounted in optional RME-200L cabinet.
Features
Connect three input ports to one output port. Independent selection of each port for simplex or full duplex operation. Select COR logic as active high or low. Select Port #1 priority over Ports #2 and #3. The frequency response is flat over a range greater than 300 to 3000 Hz. Level adjustments on both the input and output amplifiers makes it easy to compensate for varying input and output requirements. The audio input impedance is 10K ohms while the output is 600 ohms. Transceivers interfaced through separate [DB9] connectors while the controller interfaced is through a [DB25] connector.
SQ-1000 Super Squelch Board
When supplied with discriminator audio the SQ-1000 Super Squelch will perform the operation of a Squelch Circuit, COR/CAS Generator, or a Repeater Maker. As quieting occurs, the SQ-1000 will turn on its built-in audio switch and output the audio to a controller or transmitter input. The SQ-1000 also produces a DC logic voltage change to be used by the controller as a CAS or COR input. A dip switch selects whether the logic level is active high or low. The SQ-1000 automatically adjusts closure time with loss of signal. With a strong signal the switch will close in 20 milliseconds. Closure time automatically increases as the signal becomes noisier. A red LED lights whenever a signal is received and the squelch opens. The SQ-1000 connects directly to the audio delay header on most of the CAT controllers. A second header connector on the SQ-1000 permits connection of the DL-1000C Audio Delay.
Board size is 3.0 X 2.0 inches.
This is a plug and play accessory. No soldering required.
MF-1000 Serial Interface Card
Use the serial interface card to tune a remote base transceiver in either BCD or Kenwood Push-button mode. The card also supports eight expanded user function switches. The CAT-1000 controller will support two serial interface cards. The board size is 2.7 X 3.0 inches and connects directly to the accessory connector of the CAT-1000, CAT-700B, or CAT-300 controller.

WX-200
Weather Receiver with SAME Technology
The WX-200 monitors the NOAA Weather Radio Network which broadcasts continuous National Weather Service information, warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day. This network operates over 800 stations in the continental United States, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico & the Virgin Islands. Along with the routine weather, hazard, and other information the NOAA Weather Radio Network also includes specialized signals designed to alert residents in specific areas about special warnings. By broadcasting these signals, known as SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding), residents can tune in and learn of problems in their own geographical area.
 
Specific Area Message Decoder
A programmable digital decoder, such as the WX-200, equipped with SAME is designed to respond to SAME alerts with an audible tone or other warning. The WX-200 can be programmed to respond to specific types of warning and/or those occurring in certain cities, counties, or other geographical areas.
Alert Message Timer
At the conclusion of a SAME alert a digital termination signal is transmitted. The WX-200 is designed to decode and automatically shut down the transmitter or, if desired, an internal message timer can control the transmission time.
Repeater Interface
The WX-200 is engineered to seamlessly interface with your repeater. With as few as 4 simple connections, the WX-200 can be set up to provide automatic weather alerts.
During a weather alert, a relay in the WX-200 will disconnect the transmitter from the controller and connect it to the weather receiver. The relay grounds the transmitter PTT line while providing weather audio to modulate the transmitter.
Alert Start Logic Output
The SAME broadcast includes a signal that is decoded by the WX-200 to produce an external alarm, trigger the controller to execute a specialized macro or automatically load a pre-recorded message.
Alert Stop Logic Output
The WX-200 is also able to respond to a length-of-message signal embedded in the SAME alert. Responding to this signal, the WX-200 will automatically reload a NORMAL memory save.
Weather Enable/Disable Input
Receiver alert control signals are available through the rear panel 15 pin connector. The enable input (when grounded) will enable the receiver. By connecting this input to a controller's user function output switch, weather reports on demand are available. The disable input (when grounded) will inhibit all WX-200 weather alerts, a feature to prevent repeater transmissions from interruption.
Voice Synthesizer Alert Message
Embedded in the SAME message is the time period the warning is in effect. During this time period the built-in voice synthesizer will periodically broadcast the nature of the alert. The voice synthesizer is programmed with several warnings, including "Tornado Warning", Winter Storm Warning", "Flash Flood Warning among many other .
WX-200 Printed Circuit Board Assembly
The PC contains a state of the art surface mount, dual conversion receiver equipped with a low-noise GaAS MESFET RF amplifier and a single chip MC13135P Motorola receiver. The dip switch allows the built-in frequency synthesizer to select one of 7 NOAA broadcasting stations. The WX-200 interfaces with the repeater through the DB-15 rear connector while the DB-9 connector allows the RS-232 port connection to interface with a PC serial port. The heart of the WX-200 is the decoder-logic section which consists of the FSK decoder, P80C51RD2 microprocessor, NRAM, and TI voice synthesizer. Since the weather receiver data base is stored in the NRAM, the WX-200 can always be up-dated.
View of the WX-200 internal PC board
Weather Alert Log
As alerts are received, the WX-200 stores the date, time and type of alert in non-volatile memory. Storage is provided for up to 40 alerts. The RS-232 port and the WX-200 configuration editor can be used to download the data which can then be saved as a PC text file or printed with the print driver included in the configuration editor.
WX-200 Configuration Editor
The WX-200 Configuration Editor included with the receiver requires a Windows® 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME®, Windows NT®, or Windows XP® operating system. The configuration editor is used to select the FIP codes, EVENT codes, OPTIONS and timer settings.
