The Voter channel driver synchronously monitors remote receivers (Via the Internet) and their RSSI levels and selects the strongest received signal for transmission over the system. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span class=apple-style-span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black;background:white'><br>The RTCM is the next generation of this voter hardware/software platform. The surface mount design allows for a reduced footprint of approximately 122 x 77 x 30mm, small enough to possibly be fitted within the radio or repeater in which it controls. Some of the many added features include an efficient wide input voltage power supply (7-32 VDC), Synchronized transmitter operation (Simulcast), Synchronized PL generation, DTMF decoding/Encoding and shielded D-Shell I/O connections. The module comes complete with an extruded aluminum enclosure for increased RF shielding. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span class=apple-style-span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span class=apple-style-span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black;background:white'>The unit price is $269.00 for licensed amateurs and $369.00 for commercial businesses, quantity pricing available upon request.
