More about the TAC-5
The TAC-5 does the DR-10's job for less money, with fewer relays and outputs and a few features the DR-10 doesn't have. It works with the CP-1 call progress decoder.
Its direct-to-air mode is made for remotes and for emergency broadcasts when weather strikes: one relay puts your phone audio on the air, bypassing everything else in the air chain.
