Back in the old days I converted several MII's in 800 Mhz from GMARC to LTR. There was a mod the the channel element where an un-used pin applied txdata to the compensation circuit in the element - This was a mod from Cook's in California where they made a sharing system to run both GMARC and LTR

Just about any decent broadcast-oriented remote control system will do what you want. For examples: www.sinesystems.com - model RFC1/B (bare bones system) www.burk.com - ARC-16, GSC3000, VRC2500 www.broadcasttools.com - several different units; look at their upcoming VMC-8 product The ProTek
