Adam,
I didn't know it until today, but yes. On the CAT-1000, port 1 had priority over port 2, so if I hook the WX-200 to port 2, I'm good. The only hitch is, we're planning on linking 2 repeaters and we'd need port 2 for the link. I can solve that problem by using a relay on the link receiver (using the COS line) to give the link priority over the WX receiver. As I explained to our president. it'll be a work-in-progress. After all, it is called AMATEUR radio! Thanks for the input. 73, Mike WM4B From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam C.

I have the audio from the WX200 being fed into one of the three ports on the 7K and have made that port the lowest priority. This way, we receive all of the weather reports from the WX200 but if someone has an important transmission, they can talk right over it and the controller "priority by port" does the rest. It works perfect. Last night in my area of New York, we must have received a dozen watches and warnings for severe lightening. Everything worked flawlessly just like you desire on your system. Does the CAT1000 let you prioritize ports? Adam N2ACF At 20:59 6/16/2008, you wrote: >My club is considering the purchase of a WX200 to go with our >repeater/CAT-1000.
