Quantar Linking 2m/440 & external controller

I have a VHF and UHF Quantar and a single SCom 7330 controller. Due to available space limitations at the sites, they will be deployed in opposing sides of town but will have similar footprints. I will be running them dual mode FM/P25. Internet and POTS are available, but T1 is out of the question. What would be the best way to link the 2 Quantars together. Will I need a second 7330, or will 1 suffice?

Thanks!

I should add that both decks have v.24 cards in them

Why bother with analog? Digital only is much easier and better.

AS,

I'm trying to put P25 on the map here and gain a following by providing solid infrastructure, footprint and reliability. There has never been a P25 repeater here on either band and this will put P25 on the map. Further, the frequency coordinators also expressed concern about allocating a P25 only pair citing lack of demand and limited allocations, whereas DMR and Fusion are a dime a dozen. There's a lot of P25 2m around here, but on 440 it remains to be unseen, patching both machines together in both modes, I would hope promotes it's viability (akin 900mhz... it you build it, they will come.)

I look forward to your input. I've been googling and following threads and haven't found a difinitive solution.
