Skipp - Looking at the cabling - TX side is normal; but the receive side looks to be wired as 2 - 3 can duplexers in parallel. How does this improve rejection? Seems that IF you needed the parallel duplexers to handle a LOT of tx power, that would be okay, but does it help on the receive side?

My only thought would be program the 3 rx freq. and tones, and the scan list, with priority if needed. Program NO TX pl and switch JU 551 (Flat RX unmuted) inside the receive radio, so it passes the pl, hopefully through your controller. Any IDs would not have a PL, though. Charles, KS3Z --- R
