Here in Kamloops BC, we have been using the RVS-8 on one of our local repeaters for a couple of years now. It has worked flawlessly the entire time. We didn't have any trouble setting it up and it has maintained its settings ever since. It is in a somewhat temperature stable environment in that the temp only changes from maybe 10C to 35C between winter and summer. We are currently running with 4 remote receivers but have 2 more planned for the not too distant future. The radios are surplus commercial Glenayre repeaters which are small modular rack mounted units. We currently run a 100W VHF transmitter and have 4 matching UHF receivers connected to a single Sinclair 310C4 UHF antenna via an 8 port amplified multicoupler. The remotes are all Glenayre VHF receivers with a mix of UHF transmitters. I also have the channel disable lines from the RVS-8 connected to the controller so that I can disable individual receivers if necessary. If I had to do it all over I would stay witht he RVS-8. It's a great little unit. If you are interested, there are a few pictures here... http://karc.ca/album/lolo/index.html 73 -Rob- Your use of Yahoo!
