@Ted S posted:
Are there any advantages to using the CAB-1L with a Base-1L instead of a Legacy 992 base? For example: better communication, extra features, different channels to avoid conflict with another club, etc.? If not, what's the point of the Base-1L?

No advantage other than an additional inexpensive remote for the 990. The reason behind Base1L was to compliment the Cab1L. Without a Base1L you would be required to buy a Legacy system, an unnecessary purchase, for the limited functionality of the Cab1L. The Cab1L / Base1L combination was released due to an overwhelming demand for something easier to use and less expensive than a 990 when the original TMCC Cab and Base were discontinued.
