remote operation from two different locations

Tim Goodrich All Messages By This Member #52909 Hi All, I'm setting up my 857 in a new vehicle and got to thinking it might be nice to be able to operate from inside the can of the truck AND inside the bed/camper shell of the truck when tucked away for bed at night. I've set up the control head for remote operation before, but not from two places. Is there any reason why simple RJ11 (for mic) and RJ45 splitters (for the control head) wouldn't work? Tim K6TW

I would worry about the unterminated line acting as an antenna and causing RFI issues. If possible I would think it would be better to just connect the cable you needed to the body when you wanted to change positions. Leonard K.

Just label them clearly on the radio end. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Tue, Dec 6, 2022 at 7:08 AM Leonard K.
