You still have to add COR to them. And the packet connector
on the V7 has no concept of PL tone, and only sees one band
at a time.

Desirable but not necessary. The audio has to match, and
most folks do that by using identical receivers. You can
tap off discriminator audio and run identical audio processing.

You don't want tone on your voter link TX. See the links
below and read up on the problems of voting systems.
This is tone coming back to the remote receiver at the repeater site.A Motrac or Motran mobile is $5 or free (even those with PL),
you unbolt the RX and add a West Crystal is under $15, and
you are done! Scavenge the tubes from the Motrac PA deck
and sell them on eBay for $10. Total cost of your voter RX is
maybe $5 plus two transistors to implement the COR.
Well if anyone has four of them lying around needing a hope, would be happy to take them. I just got a good deal on two TM-V7 mobile radio's.>then only for a year later to find I have a channel issue, then

If someone pops up on your coordinated voter link then THEY have
to resolve the problem, not you. You are coordinating your voter
links, I hope. Best to resolve problems, not dodge them by shifting
frequency.
While I agree with this, my system was decoordinated because of an interference issue, had to get a whole new frequence pair, and retune everything, nearly a year after the system was up and running. And yes they are being coordinated.>I agree, you way sounds better, but these are here, and at

Let me get this straight... you are running a 2m repeater with a
dual band mobile as a voter link...
...you have the V7 2m RX feeding the UHF TX with the UHF
RX as the control receiver? Through one packet connector?
I don't think so.
What do you plan on using as a local controller?No, misunderstood, I taped discrinated audio from within the TM-V7, from both sides of the receiver, thus giving me two receiver inputs to the RVS-8. It does work, there are two systems here running it, no problems as of yet.
What audio processing are you using between the 2m RX
and the UHF TX, or are you counting on the internal repeat
mode of the V7?
How do you plan on keeping the V7 TX from burning itself up?
You do realize that in a long-winded QSO the voter link TX
will be running 100% of the time the 2M RX squelch is open....
You will need a continuous duty link TX and the V7 is not,
unless you run it on flea power with a beam antenna.
The TM-V7's are used as receiver's only. They won't be transmitting.Mathew
