Not true Mike. Check out www.georgiaskywarn.com. My remote has NO memories in it. It is a Kenwood TM-G707. All the repeaters you see on that list, I can remote up and bring to the hub repeater. I can also go back and tell it a freq / offset, then go back and tell it the pl.
Yes, you do have to have a "box" of sorts to do the magic between the RC210 but very easy to build. Is the RB-1 still available? Or did they stop selling that. (I think that is the number) I believe that is the one needed for the SCom.
