Dave;
What kind of erp do you need on the link? Is it close/Line of
Sight? You may be able to operate at exciter levels in which case any of
the mobile options will work great. What is your expected TX time on the
link? Are you running it simplex or full duplex? A remote base is easier to
set up than a full duplex link and requires a lot less equipment. What part
of the 900 band you can link in per your coordinator body would dictate
some equipment choices...
I guess we need a little more info to answer.. We can go to private email
if it would be easier.... I will be glad to help you figure some options.
A control link could be done easily with GTXor eq., although you still
likely need to change the front end filters... That application is low duty
cycle in the TX dept.... A remote base config for IRLP is another matter
entirely..
