Wow!  It has been a long time since we had this much discussion about the 
RLC-6.  After we released the RLC-1, we sold quite a few RLC-1/RLC-6 
combinations.  We even had the rack cabinet set up to hold them both.  It 
worked really well for controlling a repeater and up to three links or 
remote bases.  For the cases where the built-in hub/chain linking modes 
weren't flexible enough, we made an editor for the lookup table eproms 
(still available from <http://www.link-comm.com/ftp/rlc6/>, but please 
don't ask for support on it).

We developed the RLC-4 as a replacement for the RLC-1/RLC-6 combination, 
for about the same price.  The major advantages of the RLC-4 were that it 
could run multiple repeaters (the RLC-6 couldn't do repeaters) and disabled 
link ports could be turned on from the link side (the RLC-6 couldn't do 
that, because when a link port was turned off, its audio couldn't get 
through to the DTMF decoder on the RLC-1).  Of course the RLC-4 also had 
separate tone generators, DTMF decoders, keyup delay (kerchunk) filters and 
timers for each port, autopatch support, etc, so demand for the RLC-6 
dropped off pretty quickly.
