John, anyone:
Is there a difference between the Satoshi and Enicomms node adapters
that I need to consider?
Yes, the VXR-5000 does have discriminator output. I believe the TX side
can be optioned to be flat, but don't know much beyond that, so I'll
have to do some research.

Chuck,
I don't have personal experience with the VXR 5000, but if Pin 3 is
flat to the modulator and pin 6 is flat from the discriminator and it
is true FM (no PM), then it may be a good candidate. Just start with
my article and the pinout at

-- buy a node adapter (Satoshi or Enicomms) and give it a try, if the
VXRs work out, let us all know, if not, look for something that will
work like the Kenwood TKRs and use the node adapter with that.
