KQ6XA Repeater Pack with HT lifted, showing the Spectrum HRC-10 Simplex Repeater Controller with connector and harness. Controller is a voice store- and- forward unit with voicemail. DTMF is used to program and for remote control from any other HT.
The HRC-10 has been discontinued, and I do not have any information about it or the manual. I am also using the Radio Shack Simplex Repeater Controller, which is also discontinued... but I acquired a few of them before they stopped selling them. I think MFJ has a similar repeater controller now, but I have not tested it.
