Thanks for your suggestion. That is basically what I ended up doing. I programmed the unit as full duplex remote base, which basically bypasses the internal controller. I think the only thing I might add is a timer circuit for hang time. Right now the PTT drops as soon as the COR drops out.
Thanks again everyone for all your help.
