I don't know a thing about that voter. Maybe someone will chime in here. My voter will do tone signaling so I'm ok with the 7x24 keyed down link transmitter. In fact I think it's probably the way to go. It's just that it requires something with the duty cycle to handle it and I'm looking for

We have used the LDG RVS-8 voter with great success. http://www.ldgelectronics.com/c/252/products/5/19/1 It is an 8 channel voter and does not need a 1950hz tone to operate, and is within a ham's limited budget. In fact it works so well, one was installed for a local sheriff's office. They

Tim, I am not sure or do not remember what you have for a voter, but I have used the Doug Hall voters in a COR mode with very good results. I know there are some pretty good articles on adapting the Motorola Micor series of voters from tone to COR. This is one of the projects on my to-do list.
