And an Internet failure at one site would take down both repeaters. <br><br>tnx<div>Mike / W5JR</div><div>Milton GA</div></div><div><br>On Feb 2, 2014, at 1:17 PM, Chris Andrist <<a href="mailto:chris@yeahmon.net">chris@yeahmon.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=windows-1252">Steve,<div><br></div><div>It depends on how you want to operate your system.</div><div><br></div><div>The RTCM has a single connections for a receiver and transmitter, however they cannot work independently.</div><div><br></div><div>if you have planning on having your 2m and 6m repeater linked full time to each other then you can use 2 RTCM’s.</div><div><br></div><div>When someone keys up the 2m receiver it will also key up the 6m transmitter at that same site.

RTCM's don't care what the frequency of operation is... just that one<br>
transmits and one receives.<br>
<br>
Pretty much like duplexers don't care what radios are connected to<br>
them... nor does Asterisk care what equipment is on the other side of<br>
the URIx ... COR/COS, Audio in, Audio out, PTT and Ground.<br>
<br>
It's up to you to figure out which radio gets what connection ;-)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm pretty sure it doesn't care what antenna is connected either. <br></div><div><br></div><div>But this doesn't answer my question. Permit me to rephrase. Again.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Two split-site repeaters. Each repeater receiver has its' corresponding transmitter on a geographically distant site (that's what a split site repeater is you know! ;)</div><div><br></div><div>
