VHF Remote Radio Questions

[Kitchen Man]

Howdy all,

I want to move a base station of a mobile radio system to a remote
location where I hope to get better coverage, but I want to keep the
mic and channel control in the present location. I have access to
either an RS-232 or a DS0 line, whichever I wish to use, and the line
length is less than 10 miles. The frequencies are currently allocated
and on the air, so there are no problems with the bureaucracy. I have
been researching VHF modems, but am unclear about design applications.
Our present transmitter is operating at 50W. I was hoping for a
little insight about how to go about setting up this system, and
possibly some recommendations about what equipment offers the best
option for implementing this type of a setup. I need to implement a
selectable two-channel system. Thanks for your time and suggestions.

Andy suggests:

If you post your question to one of the ham radio
newsgroups, you should get some good ideas. Ham
repeaters work on that principle (if I understand your
requirements), and have thousands of stations in operation
doing everything from voice to data to experimental......
I am sure someone there can give you a lot of ideas
based on first-hand experience...

I've done just that. Thanks for the suggestion.
