RE: Splitting Inputs - IR Controlled

["Kevin Hawkins" <lists@xxxxxxx>]

Ian - I have never used or owned one of these - just seen them - very glad
there's an alternative.

Tracey - have you tried or used the GB3VR multiplexer - there are no
figures there for bandwidth or crosstalk - any comments ?

BTW do you hold a license ?

Cheers K
