I'm no expert on the LDG voter's operation. I've installed one and still do not think, after much work, that its voting all that well. That aside, I suspect that using the COR, as recommended, helps facilitate the voter's operation. If all the links are constantly held active, the voter will have sample more audio sources before making its decision. Utilizing COR eliminates the inactive links and narrows the decision to only active links.
As a suggestion, you can install PL boards on each of the feeds and use their decode detect to signal the voter. As for the "easy front panel setup display", they could have made it even better had they put the audio level and noise calibration pots somewhere where they're accessable without having to remove and open the unit's cover. Every time we upgrade a link, add a link, or put a back-up unit into service, we have to go through far too much hogwash to reset the link's operating parameters.
