Unit price is high and appears have to buy serial cable and programming
software. One can get a SAME receiver for lot less money and these have
on board keyboard programming, but I did note the receiver had a serial
port, I guess for programming, but could other things be using the port.
I really don't like requiring a computer to set up something like this.
However, did it put out data to allow for interfacing to another unit,
APRS/Packet, repeater, etc???
Most of the features are like most SAME receivers. However, most
receivers allow for much more than 4 counties and I need this. My
interest would be what the serial port puts out.

spend the

it's a bit more spendy, but it does a regular drop and insert into

path making it impossible to miss. We have 6 of them on our
repeaters, very
nice.

Ever look at one of these? Used it for years at home until a power
surge took it out. Good little box. But, never hooked it to a
repeater. Responds to start and ending tones. Software to program it
is free online from them. Here's a link. Hope this helps.
