Yeah, shure!

The 7K has an optional speech synthesizer board, or
you can get a Vyex board that drops in it's place.

The Scom 7K is a 3rx-2tx unit (plus patch) that is set up as
one repeater, one link or remote base radio and a 3rd RX port
that can be used as a control receiver or as a WX radio.
Another way to look at it is it's a 2 and a half port unit.
Look at the CAT 3-port expander board. That may give you ideas.

The 7K has a encoder audio gate but depends on an external
encoder or decoder.

Please elaborate on what you mean by that.
To a lot of people the squelch tail is the burst of white noise
you hear after the carrier drops and before the squelch closes.

The 7K is a 2-inch high box that bolts in a 19 inch rack.

Bob is working on the 7330 that will be a true 3-port controller.
Any combination of three repeaters and remote bases and links...
Yes, that means that you could have nine separate courtesy
beeps to program....
