I got one of the MRE Direct RICK off eBay for a lower price than a full blown RICK for getting the two CDM1550 that I have and was set up for full cross band now. Very nice setup if I do say so, not to hard to program it in the software CPS either. And its switch able so I can flip the toggle and turn it off as well.

I am running a GR500 with R1225 guts for a GMRS system. I would love to add a link radio to link to a repeater in a nearby town. What is the easiest way to do this? I thought of using a RICK with two of my mobiles to receive my repeater signal and then transmit it on the other repeater input. This seems like a lot of antennas and radios. On the GR500, I have the ZR310 community controller setup. I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts and ideas. Thanks!
