Reply to "DCS LIVES! TIU's new Atlas catalog plus lots more!"

This post is just a little bit premature but I suppose it will help extinguish some of the gas lighting going on here.

Below is a little project I started on just before Christmas and with the help of an engineer at work as well as "borrowing" a prototype project board from a customer at work, we believe it is possible to use one or more DCS remote(s) with the new WTIU.

We are running on the assumption that the Remote Input port on the WTIU will work the same as it does on the current TIU.  I don't see why it wouldn't.

We removed the 900 MHz transceiver from a REV. L TIU to ensure the remote couldn't communicate directly and communications had to run through our apparatus into the Remote Input port.  I've had to hide the "Magic" inside of a temporary black project box at the request of the customer who loaned it to us. The radio board you see on top is a Panstick that is used as the new transceiver for the communications to and from the DCS Remotes. So far we have been able to interface 3 DCS remotes at the same time to this single TIU through the Remote Input port. I would have tried more but that was all the more remotes I have available to me right now.  We are pretty sure that Super TIU mode works as we linked this setup with another regular TIU in Super mode without issue.

Not sure where this project will ultimately lead as it started out only as a proof of concept. When I get my hands on a WTIU I will test it again to verify the concept.
