Eric, I too have seen that but for some reason these do not have it. I'm, not certain, but I think these systems were assembled piecemeal and not ordered as a system. If that is the case the thermal switch was omitted. Anyway your solution is very simple and inexpensive. lh On Sat, May 1, 2010

I agree, this is NOT a reliable or secure way to control a repeater.If you set the phone to auto answer and hang a simple touchtone decoder on the RX audio, THEN it would be a decent controller. What you have there is a simple but effective BOMB DETONATOR...( yes..they DO use them for
