Hmmm-all the ones we had at the shop I used to work at did true RB. I
could see the phase shift in the lissajous (sp?) on the service
monitor...the only problem I ever ran into was that the time delay they
used was a bit short for some radios. Same problem with the mobiles of
that vintage (early 90's).
Yes, they make GREAT ham repeaters, with only the need to add a simple
ID'er.
All of the external controller mods I did were done at the accessory
jack on the back. And they were always done in such a way that you could
just unplug the cable from the back, hit the button on the front, and
run local. Worst case (with tone panels), I would have to open the top
and plug the CTCSS EEPROM back in. (I would glue a piece of anti-stat
foam on the chassis next to the board and stick the chip there,
programmed up and ready to go.)
