Rick, If you are not interested in using a 2 channel voter, the second best way is to use a 2nd PL tone on the remote receiver. I have done both and if you have a good group of users, the two PL tone method works very well. If you have a technology challenged group of users it can be a pain to ke

Someone else suggested the "poor man's voter" by simply requiring a different PL tone for the other receiver. Users simply need to know which tone to use for each area. The other solution is to simply link in a low profile repeater at the desired location. This could even be on a different band

I don't know the RLC controller per se'. If it has a voter panel in it I'd say ok. If you don't have a voter panel I'd say the idea is very "iffy". You don't want the same rcv audio being summed from two different sources unless you take very special precautions. If those precautions are not

Rick, Yeah. I failed to mention that they're mobiles. The original builder stripped all the unneeded parts out of each unit (no TX parts in the RX, and vice versa) so there's no hope in swapping them. I 'might' be able to swap the 440 RX into the 2-meter slot (haven't even looked into t

Maybe you'd feel better re-connectorizing (in-line) the new set of wires. Another thing to watch for with a Micor mobile. There are shield plates on the underside of some boards. These just press in place with some pins. These pins corrode and cause grief. Pull the shields off and clean things.
