In days of old, when Knights were bold, Link Comm
actually started when Alan built a link board for
the S-Com 5K controller. I believe it was called
the rlc-5 or just plain linking board.
Great design, published in 73 Magazine (RIP) &
way ahead of its time. I have photo copies of
the original articles.
By the time I called Alan to order the original
S-Com 5K linking PC Board, he had upgraded and
updated the circuit to the controller generic
RLC-6 Linking board. Very nice design, my hat
was off to Alan for taking the work out of my
linking demand.
Don't know how many they ever made or sold, I
have 12 of them.
You can consider it very similar in function
to the current CAT Auto RLS or RBS-1000 board.
Drop controller logic lines low to route both
TX and RX linking in Chain or Hub format.
Options for hub or chain linking were dip switch
set along with priorities and cos logic. Various
selections could be configured and stored in the
two on-board eproms. A status display board was
also an option.
Alan or Steve told me they stopped selling them
because they wanted you to buy their multi port
controller instead. I'm sure demand was not great
as few people I met ever seemed to know about the
RLC-6.
I now do the same thing with the Cat Auto
RLS-1000. I consider the SCom 7K with a Vyex DAB
and the RLS-1000 to be "the dope". in repeater
controllers.
that is all...
