Collin, A guy local to me (WD9HSY) sells them - rated at 200W - on a certain auction site. Normal cost is about $59.00. If you do a search for dummy load it will pop up for you. Although not costing an arm and a leg these might qualify for a finger or two... ;-) They are very nice loads...

Jim, I have not looked at the NHRC-4 lately. I have used them in the past and they are a good controller also. Can you now command the controller via DTMF from the link port? I know in the past you could only command the controller with DTMF from the main repeater port. This is why I started using

I actually have four of the SCOM 7330s in service right now. Probably the best hardware design available of all the controllers. However, it is overkill for this simple project. I just need something simple enough for a repeater and link, providing cos/ptt switching and audio gating/mixing.

Randy, I am flattered by your comment, but you give me more credit than I am due. The model numbers usually indicate the band and power level, but not the frequency split within a band. For example, a typical Micor repeater station might have a model number of C73RCB-3106BT. I know from that

I think I know the answer to this but I am going to confirm it. The community tone board only filters out what talk group you don't want to hear. And it won't let you if you have multiple groups on the same pair talk over each other. Am I correct on this? The reason I ask is that we have several
