[NHRC-user] Questions for our user community

[Jeff Otterson]

Hi!

   We are looking for input from our user community on a couple of subjects.

   First, a very general question about frequency agile remote bases.

   What kind of remote base hardware would you like to be able to use, and 
what kind of features do you want?  Are voice responses like the NHRC-10 
generates required?

   Today, our NHRC-10 can provide a frequency agile remote base with Icom 
radios that support the CI-V protocol.  We are wondering what kind of other 
solutions our users want.  For instance, there is the Doug Hall RBI-1, 
which supports Kenwood mobile radios, although I am not sure it supports 
many of the  current production radios.  (We currently offer no support for 
the RBI-1.)  There are also schemes to activate the microphone up/down 
channel buttons, which is admittedly clunky.  Some radios support DTMF 
received over the mike connector to tune the set.

   Second, a very specific question for our NHRC-10 users:  Would you 
prefer having the link/remote base commands confirm with "link transmit on" 
or to use the words "remote base transmit on".  The difference would be 
what the controller called the link/remote base radio, "link" or "remote 
base".

   We are very interested in your feedback.

   Thanks & 73,

   Jeff
