On the subject of PL Encoder/Decoder: I was hoping that they existed in a form factor that could plug into the MASTR II. Failing that, I'll hardwire something in.
The reason for the different controllers: The NHRC will plug into the MASTR II Mobile. The PSE will plug into the Card Cage AND is computer programmable (Hint to NHRC !!). I would like to use the same manufacturer in each, but the ease of programming on the PSE makes it a winner for me. Antennas are up to the Antenna Committee (HI HI). Nothing decided yet. One other item I need to get is a MASTR II UHF Mobile (-77- split).
