You're not understanding what I'm saying. You said (still quoted at bottom) "Would be nice if there was two, guess GE saved a dollar or two on the cost."
It's not fair to blame GE for there only being one synthesizer. It's a mobile (or a base in your configuration). It's not a repeater and was never meant to be a repeater, so there was no need for two synthesizers. Do you think they should have put two in because someday someone might want to make a duplex repeater out of it? There was no need for two, so it's not fair to blame them for saving the cost. Joe M.
