GE made a number of PAs for the MII all to be driven by the exciter. I think
the lowest for normal mobiles was 35 watts. Also the Exec II PAs will work.
A 35 W set at 35 W draws about 7 Amps and at 20 will drop to 4 Amp.

There are several simple devices that you can use. It
depends on how much you want the controller to do. Of
course, the more it does, the more it costs.

input of the other radio. Then connect the audio
output of one radio to the audio input of
