What kind of signalling options are available to me using Spectra radios? What type of signalling will allow me to take advantage of the Horn/Lights option on the spectras.
What I would like to do is after several attempts to call someone with no answer. I would like to send a signal to the vehicle to turn on the Horn/Lights to alert someone that I am trying to get ahold of them.
This will be used on a ranch that is about 15 miles from the nearest neighbor so the anoyance factor is very low.

Ok, Turn on MDC 1200.
How about the relay for the Horn/Lights? Went by Radio Shack today and picked up a 30 amp 12V Auto Relay SPST N.O.. The part # was 275-0226. Specs say Pull in voltage of 6V and a Drop out voltage of 3.6V. Nominal current is 160mA and coil resistance of 66 ohms. Will this work as a relay for the accessories connector? Was going to hook up pins 4 and 3 for the horn.
