A U.S. Manufacturer of Repeater and Interoperability Controllers and Accessories
The author and designer of the AllStarLink-compatible open source Voter2 project, Will Beals, N0XGA has announced the project! Voter2 is being tested initially on the Colorado Connection repeater system. Read the full announcement here.
Let’s take a stroll down Random Access Memory Lane to see how controller memory evolved over the years.
Lithium coin cells (batteries) are very popular for timekeeping and memory backup applications. Ever wonder why?
Fast facts
The output voltage is 3 V, roughly double that of other common battery types. Designers can use one lithium coin cell instead of two cells of other chemistries.
Three volts is compatible with many of today’s low-power ICs and with SRAM data retention.
If you didn't make it to Hamvention, you missed seeing a couple new controller accessories and a look at ongoing development.
Ham Radio Crusader came by and interviewed S-COM Dave. Here's the video:

Take a look over on the JHK Labs web site for more info:
S-COM will again be at Hamvention this year in the same spot as last year. We're located with the Repeater-Builder group of companies/organizations/projects.
Be sure to stop by the Flea Market spaces around #7727 in the Flea Market to say hi and see what's new. There's always something.
Bob DeMattia, K1IW has updated his DR1X/DR2X interface document. It is available on the 7330 to Yaesu web page.
7330 Firmware Release 1.9 is available for download at:
http://www.scomcontrollers.com/7330firmware
http://www.scomcontrollers.com/downloads/7330_V1.9_240512.zip
The Release Notes have a complete list of New Features, Fixes and Changes to the Manual. Here's a summary of the new features.
Mike Morris is placing an order for custom words for the S-COM 7330. (The words also work on the S-COM 7K DAB Speech Board.) Mike has offered to include custom words for other 7330 owners. These words will be recorded by the original talent that did the 7330 Standard Speech Library.
To add words to the order, review Mike's list to see if the word you want is already on the list:

[Update 11/18/2017] At S-COM, we've been testing the DR-2X with the S-COM 7330 repeater controllers. The DR-2X that I have has the external controller modification and the latest firmware.
Here's the two configurations that I have tested and work well:
Thanks for all the comments on my first post. Your feedback has been a big help in figuring out what features should be included in a new controller. Keep the ideas coming!
