A morse code ID'er for the Micor / MSR / MSY repeater shelf using the Comm-Spec ID-8 By Jerry Matthews WAØUZI

Here is my latest project - a CWID'er for a Motorola repeater control shelf using the Comm-Spec ID-8 morse code identifier module.   I stripped an extra card that had a double-wide metal face (a Line Driver card) and as per the ID-8 directions mounted the keypad on the front and plugged the ID-8 circuit board onto the keypad from the rear.   The small IC on the Radio-Shack perfboard is a simple opamp audio buffer amplifier that was required to get enough gain to drive the Micor TX.   There is a screwdriver-adjust level setting pot on the original line driver card that can be reused to allow setting the IDer level.

The photos below show the resulting ID8 card mounted in my Micor repeater.

Nothing fancy but it's functional...

Note from WA6ILQ:
The control shelves are very similar between the Micor and MSR-2000 repeaters.   The MSY series (Motrac / Motran era) shelves are an earlier generation but still similar.   And there is no reason that the ID-8 could not be used in a GE Mastr-II, Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu, or any other repeater.
