<---You're missing the point. Using the delay board as you explain above will help with the slow takeup of the Alinco's decoder but it will do nothing for the extraordinarily long delay when the decoder STOPS decoding. Not to mention adding a 1 second delay to audio passing between the 2 repeaters. Your users are gonna hate it, trust me. IMHO, your best option is to use an external decoder in each radio and be done with it. The delay board bandaid is simply that - a bandaid and not a fix.
