MICOR SpectraTAC in-cabinet voting

Anyone have the details on how to set up the internal MICOR repeater receiver to be a voting channel? As it sits now, the internal MICOR receiver is disabled unless the SpectraTAC comparator goes down, then it goes to standard repeat mode. I've got a voting receiver mounted in the repeater cabinet that's the "local" receiver. I'd like to use that receiver elsewhere and use the MICOR internal receiver as the "local" voting channel.

I seem to recall there was a way to put an encoder module in the MICOR card cage, and use Line 2 to connect the MICOR internal receiver to a card on the comparator. Anyone got the details on how to do this? Thanks!

What you want is Micor option C269.

The TRN6085 Spectra TAC encoder module is added.
The station line driver is replaced with TRN6552 Spectra TAC 4 wire line driver.

This is documented in 68P81107E40.

These cards sometimes show up on ebay - or else look for them at Dayton.

I have a complete set of spare SpectraTAC receiver cards, including an encoder module. I don't have the SpectraTAC LD Equalizer card, which I think is the 4W LD for SpectraTAC that goes in the MICOR... Do you have a copy of the documentation for this, and if so, could you scan a copy or mail me a copy? I'd really appreciate it, as I'd like to implement this ASAP.

The manual is still available from Motorola parts, should be around 10 bucks.
