Hi Skipp, Thanks for the info. Since I'm planning on keeping the box as 'mot' as possible (less work?), I'll stick to the stock modules. Perhaps later I will add an Ider, but that can be added pretty easily later.
It would be interesting to see what jumpers are necessary in the repeater configuration of this box. I have the printout of the original remote base configuration.
