[Premium-Rx] R2368/URR and RF1310 playing together

[Berndt Josef Wulf]

G'day Danny,

Thanks for info. Ok, this answers my questions. It was hoped that the two 
receivers had a way of communicating, but this obviously isn't the case.

The easiest way to solve this problem for me is to write a small GUI based 
application and control both rigs using the RS485 interface.

73, Berndt
