Steve, We use two boards but switch the encode on only when the input tone is present. The reason for this is it facilitates the use of cross band radios. The tone drops out before the courtesy tone and tail so the guys doing cross banding can access the repeater in normal time. I prefer

I use two separate boards for encode and decode to allow fast switching for an EchoLink link radio. The TS 64 used for encode only provides tone when the receiver is unsquelched and is decoding the proper subaudible tone (yellow lead I think on the TS64). Since I listen to the repeater at home
