DCFlux, I have plenty of ICS controllers as well as Comm Spec CTCSS boards but as I said it's set up for LTR, I may use it that way on my commercial tower. If there is a squelch gate you don't really need anything else. The NHRC squelch board may be faster but not that much.
Thanks anyway, Paul -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of DCFluX Sent: Monday, March 13, 2006 8:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Kenwood TKR 820 An NHRC-2 or NHRC-4 may fit there, but you should measure it to make sure. Plus you need a way to derive COS, so you may want to look at the NHRC squelch board or go with a Comspec PL board, or combonation of both.
