[Repeater-Builder] Link Receivers and LDG RVS-8

[bbedoe]

Hi Everybody!   I have a couple of our Club members that want to experiment with some linking and the RVS-8 voter.  They want to play with some cross-banding radios to a few link receivers and then the voter.  After a long discussion I came up with a few questions that I want to ask the group:   1.  Are there any group of radios that make better link receivers than others?  There are lots of surplus rock bound UHF Moto radios out here, (Moxy, Maxar, Flexar) For those of you that have played with these, any pro's and con's?  Conversion? COR? PL decode, stripping PL and encoding? Cystal/Channel Element cost? Flat Audio? Interfacing with voters?   2.  I've converted my fair share of Micor's and Mastr II's over the years.  Is there any benefit in using these radios over those other radios or would I be better off playing with say, some Spectra Tac receivers?   The last thing I want to do is reinvent the wheel!  The group's expertise is a good thing!  I personally like a stand alone repeater, but the guys want to experiment, so I want to point them in the right direction, so any thoughts would be great!   Happy Holidays! 73, Brian, WD9HSY Yahoo!
