GE MVPs are the best answer I've found hands down. Swap a VHF RX in a
UHF frame. You can use a MastrII or ExecII for the TX site and it's all
very neat.
Even cooler - MastrII RX and TX's convert to 220 pretty easily. While
the conversion is not for the faint of heart, 220 links are cool.

Thanks to you all for good advice. The project is to have a VHF receiver
(remote receiver), a UHF link transmitter, a UHF link receiver (at the
base repeater site), and probably a voter. All of this is in ham bands.
I am getting the idea that good choices for the radios would be MaxTrac,
Radius,
I like the GM300 16 channel the best. Some of the other Radius and
Motorola radios that look the same have a 5 pin accessory connector
with less flexibility. Likewise the 16 channel GM300 has more
programability on the 16 pin accessory connector than the 8 channel.
Now, the 8 channel is a

John,
Tom is right, and this is a quick and easy way to add a single-site remote
RX. But like he said, your users will need to be aware of where they are
(physically) in the repeater coverage in order to access the proper
receiver.
I do know of some systems that don't use a voter - the remote
One voter-based network I used to use back in Tennessee used a
low-volume CW ID at the beginning of a transmission for the remote TX
stations. I believe this would satisfy the FCC ID needs.
YMMV, IANAL, and all that stuff.

John,
I'll suggest that your link gear and receivers should all be the same make,
model , etc., so the audio being retransmitted is the same.
This way, voting becomes transparent to your users.

I agree with Phil, use the PL decoder at the voter. Your remote
