No word yet on linking information. And where you can get COS.
However the repeater ID is transmitted without tones so if you RF link it will not go back into the net.
Also if you program your radios with receive tones you wont hear the ID.
IF anyone has this repeater it would be great if you would let us know if you have been able to find the COS
