Introduction
Congratulations on selecting the RVS-8 voter. This system allows you to add up to eight satellite
receivers to your repeater system. It selects the one with the best signal-to-noise ratio and
channels the audio and Carrier Operated Relay (COR) output to your repeater input. A wide
variety of options is available via the front-panel controls and display. You can even "cascade"
up to eight of these units for a system of 64 satellite receivers.
LDG pioneered the automatic, wide-range switched-L tuner in 1995. From its laboratories near
the nation’s capitol, LDG continues to define the state of the art in this field with innovative
automatic tuners and related products for every amateur need.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
Never install antennas or transmission lines over or near
power lines. You can be seriously injured or killed if any part
of the antenna, support or transmission line touches a power
line. Always follow this antenna safety rule: the distance to
the nearest power line should be at least twice the length of
the longest antenna, transmission line or support dimension.
