If your talking about the TM-V7A/E The packet connector has a COS line, but for the record it is carrier only, PL has no effect. If you need PL, it's hard to get since the CTCSS decoder is shared between the bands. The RX mute transistor can be tapped for CSQ+PL per band. The service manual fo

That makes more sense Derek. I'm have repeaters setup this way. The bandpass filter can probably be tuned for either receiver freq and it should work fine on the other. You could also get a 1:2 splitter to accomplish feeding each receiver. That way you wouldn't have to worry about the exact cable
