Bob, As I said, this is exasperating. Each company has a little something the other doesn't have. The controller with the independent audio delay pots for each port.nice touch. Can save money. Not being an apartment dweller wanting a repeater or remote base for that reason is n/a. If someone wants to run 2 or 6 or 9 repeaters with one controller.fine.not my bag either. Like I said, you have to shop for what makes sense to the individual. Things like auto patch don't appeal much to me. Some might need it to control the thing but. I carry a cel phone as do many/most. It is an individual's choice as to what they think gives them the best bang for the buck, I think you'd have to agree. -Mike

Mike, >NEITHER the ARCCOM or the SCOM 7330 will work if you intend to do anything more than fairly basic things.. a repeater, a remote base on a fixed freq, etc, etc. "Fairly basic things"? If you think this stuff is easy, you haven't investigated what it takes to make one controller run three separate repeaters with 100% fully independent features -- and do it cheaply. I appreciate that your big thing is remote rig control, but: (1) It's neither trivial nor always desirable to put those kinds of rigs at repeater sites; (2) Users aren't that crazy about running some complex remote rig with nothing but a DTMF pad for an input device and CW or speech for the output device; and (3) Internet remote control makes so much more sense than tying the rig to a repeater. There've been several articles about how to build such stations on nice sites for use by club members that are apartment dwellers. 73, Bob Bob Schmid, WA9FBO, Member S-COM, LLC PO Box 1546 LaPorte CO 80535-1546 970-416-6505 voice 970-419-3222 fax www.scomcontrollers.com _____ Psssst...Have you heard the news?
