[arm-allstar] Channel Steering on Motorola RIM-Lite

[Mike - W5JR]

The Maxtrac series is not steerable. The Radius series that looks like the Maxtrac is. Look for a “LRA” model number. The GM300 series *is* steerable, as is the CDM series. The XPR series is also steerable.

I'd much rather do this with an old Maxtrack than spending a ton of money on a Kenwood TM-V7A or V71, which I believe can be steered via DTMF. I wasn't aware remote channel steering of this type was possible with those Motorola radios, but I also haven't looked too deeply into it.
