The requirement to have the link port operate full-duplex will limit your choices quite a bit. Controllers that use a single audio bus have to introduce some kind of limitation to deal with the case when a signal is being received from the repeater receiver and the link receiver at the same time. That is because you want the repeater transmitter to get a mix of both audio signals, while the link transmitter should get audio only from the repeater receiver. With a single audio bus, that isn't possible. Most people use simplex links and therefore don't run into that limitation. One simple controller that has a true audio crosspoint (which will handle the above scenario correctly) is the RLC-1 <http://link-comm.com/controllers/rlc1.htm> (disclaimer: I work for Link Communications). >Controller needs to be steerable with DTMF from both radio and link >ports, with a site prefixed commands through the link port only (to >enable remote command from any of the sites) Are you looking for a site prefix similar to what the Palomar controllers use? If so, you can order the RLC-1 with a special EPROM that will work that way (we call it "preaccess", because you have to enter the access code before the command). Our larger controllers have that option built into the standard firmware. >Erik OH2LAK If you have any questions, please give me a call.
