Here, essentially you get what you pay for. I consider LinkComm & S-Com to be the top of the line in repeater controllers, but you'll pay a bit more, especially for the LinkComm RLC-Club, but it easily satisfies all the other requirements. > >2. It has to talk, beep and chirp. Just about every controller beeps. By "chirp" do you mean fancy sound effects? Some of the cheaper controllers only have simple beeps & won't "chirp". Bob NO6B
