I think the RVS-8 voter output would have to look like discriminator audio and feed the RTCM RX.

I would like to suggest moving to RTCM voting, but that would obviously take time (and money). I am wondering if anyone has ever taken the output of a conventional voter such as the RVS-8 and connected it to an RTCM to act as the central site, then converted receive sites one at a time to RTCM voting?<br>
