VHF / UHF Installation Question

Post by njscan »

I have the need to install two Spectra's (UHF / VHF). Is there any known way f sharing one control head (hopefully A5) with two radios? I understand that control would be limited to one radio at a time. Any ideas or direction would be appreciated!
Many thanks

What radios do you own?: APX / Astro 25 / Harris

NOPE

NOT possbile. You can do it with special hardware and firmware A9 110w radios that the feds used with the HHCH. There is a true A9 version of dual control, but its particulars are lost out there since it was a special product.

You can do this with the X9000, but you have to put up with the huge size of the radios themselves.
