Hi, Consider a crossbanded MASTR II mobile for your remote sites, and use the receiver for the main site.
Start with a VHF and a UHF MASTR II. Put the UHF transmitter into the VHF radio and duplex that radio. This will be your remote receiver and link transmitter. Take the remaining UHF receiver and use that as your link receiver. Besides the obvious benefit of using the nearly bombproof MASTR II receivers, your remote sites will benefit from using a single package for all the RF. Jeff.
