[MRCA] URC-200 CTCSS (PL) Code Option

[Ray Fantini]

I have used the Communications Specialist Model TE-12 external encoders on URC-110 for years without issues. The X mode connector provide audio input along with power. Have an URC-200 now and although I have not tried it yet would assume you can do the same via the remote connector on the front of the radio. Also there is enough room in the radio to install one of the little encoder cards but you won't be able to change the code easily. No way are you going to find the original Motorola option. 
Interesting thing about the URC-200, there are about a thousand power and vehicle options that I have seen on EBay, mounting trays with power, without, with amplifiers and then a whole assortment of battery box options for just one or two batteries to my favorite one that I have now that supports one battery and any input voltage AC or DC and it's the same size as just the plane battery box. Judging by the amount and variation of power options I have seen wonder if URC-200 radios were produced in higher numbers then the URC-101 or 110?

Scott,
I have a URC-200 and I believe that CTCSS (PL) option is made out of unobtanium.  But if you find one please let me know, as I'd love to have that option.

I have some documents on the radio which I will send to you under separate cover.

Anyone have experience adding CTCSS (PL) to the URC-200?  

It has a factory option for it, but don't know anything about it.  I.e., is the option a physical hardware module or just a software configuration
change, or is it both?   Of course I'm looking for one, if anyone has an
extra. 

I'm also looking for a URC-200 manual. Electronic or hardcopy. 

Thanks,
Garret
