They where great repeater controllers, I had an Azden PCS-2000 as a reciever for my first repeater. Had the signal strength lights tied to the inputs of the VIC-20 and changed the beep depending on signal strength, kinda KEWL at the time. I wish there was a controller that did that now - Thanks for the memories - Rob KS4EC

Using a PC to control a repeater as complex as the system here with remotes etc. is a perfectly logical choice and allows nearly unlimited flexability. The original controller on the system here back in the mid 1980s was a Commodore VIC-20 :).
