That's how many repeaters here work, and it works fine. Besides the
obvious advantage of having only one decoder (less hardware), the fact
that you only have one decoder means access time is quicker. The more
decoders that have to open to bring up the repeater, the longer it will
take to bring it up.
It's probably also easier to match up the audio response and levels
between the receivers, especially if you have an on-site rx that is
hardwired.
