I presently use a RVS-8 for about a year now for a 440 system. For the links, we have utilized either Maxtracs or M1225 link radios. I have set the voter for active low, programmed the link receive radios for PL/DPL detect for COR. Found the audio response better than the old Mastr II receivers we were using. I originally used a GE Voter, and personally, am considering going back to it. The GE voter appears to be more rock solid in terms of hysterisis , and less tempermental to temperature changes.

>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
