R1225 and I20R ?

I saw a R1225 repeater used as a receiver and a link transmitter to feed to a voter and repeater across town. Why is it using a I20R external repeater controller instead of the internal controller?

The only features that the i20R offers over the internal controller that I'm aware of is multiuser capability and time logging. Could the system you're talking about have been multiuser?

It is a private system. Also, no need for logging.

From some old literature
I20R Onsite Repeater Provides up to 10 PL/DPL single-code or cross-code combinations for multiple group repeater operations, remote knock-down/set-up, in/cross-band and uni/bi- directional capabilities and CWID (Morse code). The I20R also provides battery power alert tones and Radio Service Software programming.
I would venture a guess at remote knock down/ setup or CWID

Thanks for all the good information. I did not know the specs on I20R. However, I can not tell they are using any of the features. I am now thinking the repeater had been used in another location as a repeater and is now just used as a link.
