Most high end portables and mobiles have this voting feature. I could send you the firmware for the VX-820 series Vertex Standard portables as I developed the voting for this radio.
As mentioned, Tait, Motorola, Kenwood, Icom, Simoco, HYT and GME all have this feature. Some brands may call it by a different name like RSSI Scan or RSSI Voting etc. Gareth Bennett RadioSystems P.O.

I'm not talking about that kind of voting. I'm talking of a user radio that has the capability to vote between the repeater input and output and listen to the strongest signal. A form of talk-around, if you will.

There are hundreds if not more voting systems around California, mostly older GE Types. The old GE Signal to noise voters work great-Doug Hall (Hall Electronics) copied them and was selling his version of them, don't know if he is still doing so, and there are some never versions coming for commercial and public safety service in the near future from companies you will recognize.
