Thanks for all the good information. I'll be contacting NHRC direct to purchase a couple boards for the project. Also going to be ordering a kit from ICS to play around with. Part of the goal of our repeater group is a learning process. I'm using the kits to teach others in the group about the controllers and good soldering techniques so not really looking for an asembled and working controller for that as we have 2 ACC RC-96 controllers for the primary repeater functions. Also the guys in the group are looking for some inexpensive options for small linking controllers for portable repeaters that they can use for field day and for disaster type responses that are simple, small, and don't use alot of power or have lots of bells and whistles but just the meat and potatos of what is needed and the NHRC seem to fit the bill. I'll check out the ICS as well just to have something different to play around with. Again, thanks everyone for the help and guidence!! This group is a great place to find out information.
