[Repeater-Builder] What's a Link-Comm RLC2 worth?
A friend of mine has what he says is a Link-Comm RLC2 controller with auto patch in it. If I remember right firmware 3.0 is installed. He asked me for it's value??? Brian, k5in
[Repeater-Builder] Re: S-COM 7330
Just installed mine last week.. All I can say is it's my best controller yet... Looks great in the rack, jumpered configuration makes installation a breeze, and the price is almost too good to be true (but it's not), support has been excellent... Can't say any of this about link-comm... Scom has definately won me over! --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, James Adkins wrote: > > Anyone out there using an S-Com 7330?

Yes, a pain but that was their disability. That repeater would have shut them out, which I consider rather unforunate. There is also the issue of emergencies: someone in some kind of accident (think auto) who either got a damaged mic, or is injured themselves, trying to use the repeater. While not likely in either case, its very real for that person if it happens. --STeve Andre' wb8wsf en82
Re: [Repeater-Builder] S-COM 7330
I have been using one for well over a year- no failures at all and no goofy glitches to report either. I have it set up to control one repeater and two link radios. Audio quality is excellent. Like it's predacessor the 7K, so far it seems to be a very reliable piece of hardware. Still waiting for some of the software features to be developed, like message routing, DVR function, etc, seems like there's lots of potential yet to be unleashed! Dave, Bob, and the gang at S-Com promise more to be released soon. I will hopefully be putting in a second one soon (As soon as the finance committe approves ;) ) on another repeater project.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Antennas and feedline FS
Thanks Bill, the ANT-150D arrived today in good condition. You weren't kidding about New Old Stock. When I opened it, it was factory packed. If it wasn't for the slight tarnish on the N connector, I would think it was made last week. Thanks again.

That says a lot right there. We've replaced (upgraded) previous models including the 5K, 6K & 7K ALL of which have been some of the most reliable controllers we've ever had. I wish I could say that about some other newer generation units out there on the market. The new 7330 is a great unit. Full of features and flexibility. The support is outstanding and the price is right. When Bob & company put something out you know it's going to be built to a high standard, work right the first time and be hassle free. We'd love to see more ports on future models which they have discussed making a reality. Firmware & feature updates come out and keep making them an even better product. I don't think you'll be dissapointed; we certainly haven't been. Hope this helps. Tom,N6MVT www.carlaradio.net
