Same here... there are differences between the early LDG Kit Voter 
and the current (in cabinet) generation as some of the devices 
used on the early pc-board are no longer available.

A well thought out usable feature... one of many usable features 
included in the LDG unit.

There shouldn't be a problem trusting the PTT Relay. It's fairly 
well spec'd for the application and should (cycles of operation 
wise) last more than a decade (or two) even in very busy voter 
service. There are people who don't like the mechnical "click" of 
a relay or feel they will "wear out" and fail. Based on the PTT 
operation examples demostrated to me ... the cycle of operation 
"wear out" is probably not going to be an issue for anyone. 
However, solid state switching can be and is often faster in 
x-value of mS time.

Many Burger Kings have a full-duplex cross band radio/repeater 
system in the drive through operation. No voters but there is 
an included sensor input to detect cars at the order take window.
