As others have mentioned there are less complex & expensive alternatives, but none are as user friendly as a good voter. I have 1 repeater in my system with 2 RXs: the "main" RX is at the remote site with the TX, the "remote" RX is plugged into the link hub at my home. Each uses a separate CTCSS tone, so the users have to pick which RX they want to access. >Does the link TX have to identify (amateur service)? I believe it does >have to. Officially, yes. In practice, many don't. Bob NO6B
