Page 3: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION Midian’s SVR-1 is a simplex repeater maker that can be installed into a mobile or portable radio. The SVR-1 detects COR or VOX from an incoming transmission and records the incoming audio (up to 3 minutes). When the COR or VOX is no longer detected the SVR-1 keys the radio and retransmits the recorded audio. -

PRODUCT PROGRAMMING Midian’s SVR-1-KW1 is programmed via Midian’s KL-4 programmer. Please reference the KL-4 manual for setup instructions of the programming software and hardware. From the product selection screen on the programming software, select the SVR-1-KW1 from the list and click OK. - Page 5 Store on COR/Store on VOX: Select the appropriate method that the unit should use to start recording incoming audio. COR Hold-Up Time This sets the amount of times after a loss of COR or VOX that the unit will wait until it retransmits the recorded audio.
- Page 6 Power Up In Store/Retransmit Mode: If selected the unit will power up in repeat mode. This box must be selected if doing repeat enable on a per-channel basis. Key-Up Delay: This sets the amount of time the unit waits after keying the base station radio before it starts to retransmit the recorded audio.
- Page 7 PTT > Active Polarity: This sets whether the unit looks for an active low or active high to cancel a store/retransmit. PTT > Debounce: If checked the unit will require a continuous active state for 30 msec before accepting the PTT. Mode >...
- Page 8 COR > Active Polarity: This sets whether the unit looks for an active low or active high to start recording the received audio. COR > Debounce: If checked the unit will require a continuous active state for 30 msec before accepting the COR.
- Page 9 Tones > Beep Volume: Adjust the slider for the desired beep volume. This level is expressed as a percentage of max voice audio level. Tones > Over-The-Air-Signal Modulation: Adjust the slider for the desired beep volume. This level is expressed as a percentage of max voice audio level.
- Page 10 SVR uses programmable gain amplifiers to accomplish this. Determining the gain settings for these amplifiers is an involved process, so Midian simplified this process by developing an algorithm that requires the technician to make only four voltage measurements. From these four measurements, all of the many internal settings are determined.
- Page 11 Locate the column that corresponds to the modulation and units of measurement for each of the audio hookup points. Adjust the slider bar such that the value appearing in the appropriate column matches what was measured as closely as possible. Midian recommends the following values based on 60% modulation:...

SVR-1-KW1 COR Pad COR: In order to start recording the SVR-1 can look for COR or VOX. Midian recommends using COR rather than VOX. COR is not brought up to the options connector so it is necessary to run a wire from the point shown in the... - Page 13 KENWOOD TK-2180 & TK-3180: Plug the unit into the options connector located behind the options door under the battery. Before plugging the unit in, remove R-659 to open the radio’s TX path and R-670 to open the radio’s RX path. Remove R-670 to open the radio’s RX path Remove R-659 to open the radio’s TX path COR: COR is used to initiate recording in the SVR.
- Page 14 KENWOOD TK-7180 & TK-8180: Plug the unit onto the options connector CN-403. COR: Solder a wire from the COR pad on the SVR-1 to the junction of D-416 (anode), C-560 and R642. Connect the COR wire to this point PTT: Solder a wire from the PTT point on the SVR-1 to the PTT pad on the radio’s display board. Connect the PTT out from the SVR-1 to the PTT pad on the radio’s display unit board...
