The repeater logic already gives preference to active remote connections
and drops local RF input if a remote station is transmitting. This
prevents local users keying out remote users.<br>
<br>
I effectively want to increase the RX footprint of the repeater by
giving it an extra set of ears in the RX black spots without adding any
more RF TX.<br>
