Eric KE2D Try the Linker-IIa by ICS. Very robust 2-port controller for the money, $139.95. I've got 15 of them in service, and they wrok great. Good audio through-put. Shorty, K6JSI

Sorry I do not have anything used. Not sure what a new CAT200 will set you back these days, but if you are looking for a inexpensive 2 port controller, I would look at one of Brian's Linker IIA ICS controllers for under $140.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Wanted: 2-port controller
The NHRC-4 two port controller does a nice job. I have 3 that I built from kits and have less than $70 a piece in them. The software upgrade they are delivering now is very straightforward to use and works very well. 73 - Jim W5ZIT --- On Wed, 9/24/08, Joe Burkleo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Joe Burkleo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Wanted: 2-port controller To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2008, 6:17 PM Sorry I do not have anything used.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Wanted: 2-port controller
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 the Linker IIa when I needed a 2 port controller.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Wanted: 2-port controller
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. It will be mounted inside a GR300 housing in place of the Motorola controller. No need for IDs or tones. The Linker IIa or CAT400 looks to be the best bet. Before I pulled the trigger on placing an order, I figured I would see if anyone had a used one for sale. Otherwise I will place an order in the next day or so.

You might want to look at the CAT Auto RLS-1000 aka RBS-1000 unit. s. kk2ed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I actually have four of the SCOM 7330s in service right now.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Wanted: 2-port controller
As I recall, the DTMF must be entered on the repeater port on the NHRC-4 and there is no command possible from the link port. The Ver 3.x firmware has a command structure like the Cat Auto Zone setup, and makes control pretty straightforward. I have a NHRC Micro conroller (single port) that has the Zone command structure, and I like that one also. 73 - Jim W5ZIT --- On Wed, 9/24/08, Joe Burkleo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Joe Burkleo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Wanted: 2-port controller To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2008, 7:19 PM Jim, I have not looked at the NHRC-4 lately.
