Our club recently added a remote receiver and RF link to our club repeater. We are using an ACC RC-850 controller at the repeater site. We added an LDG RVS-8 voter so we would not have to use PL and to make life easier for mobile users. Now we have a problem. When I set up the voter, the POTs

I would first try bypassing the voter and hook the link receiver directly to the 850 to make sure levels are good. There should be no reason you have low audio out of the controller the 850 normally has gobs of audio and has to be knocked down with a resistor of considerable ohmage in order not to
