Thanks for helping us think this thru, Ace.
I suppose it's possible to have a tone controlled output on the 440 repeater controller that could control the freq of the VHF packet radio, but that is above my pay grade.
I think in a bona fide emergency we would have the time to have someone visit the site and flip the switch.
The TNC remains connected to the same radio and will function as a packet node on either frequency.? APRS only borrows it's digipeater feature in unconnected mode (UI).
Thanks for your support, Ace and we appreciate your input and advice going forward.
Maybe the next step would be to talk to the other emergency services folks involved with packet and see what they have to say.
