Well, I'm using just the box on 10M. Seems to work great (even better than most repeaters) at full power with just a fan. There are 'brains' in any remote mount radio control head. Yet, people use just the box all the time. (MASTR IIs, Micors, Mitreks, Etc.) You just have to replace the volume

Steve, The industry standard for Land Mobile Radio is TIA-603-B. This standard states that the maximum response time for CTCSS frequencies 100 Hz and above shall be 250 ms. Below 100 Hz, the maximum response time in milliseconds is found by dividing 25,000 by the CTCSS frequency in Hz.
