I haven't noticed anyone else offer this idea, so I'll jump in here. I often see low level signals all through the 2M band near digital equipment. This is especially true of devices equipped with RS-232 interfaces. The baud rates are often generated by dividing down a higher frequency crystal

Skip, Thanks for that ! Yes, it does have three slots for horizontal modules. They are filled with a PL module and the Intercom module. So I would say it's a full duplex unit. When it was in service it was used with Wireline control. Andrew --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, skipp025
