>> These repeaters are natively FM analog and will be linked together through VoIP on a private VLAN network connection between Sunderland and Lusby. The estimated cost to replace BOTH the Sunderland and Lusby repeaters is estimated to be $6,000, programmed, tuned, with a networking license for both repeaters, and shipped.
