Probably looks a lot like the one at the top of the web page at <http://www.repeater-builder.com/msr2000/msr2000-index.html> >I found a copy of the RF manual on the net to download, The files that members of the repeater-builder mailing list scanned and I put on that page have been ripped off by several other web sites. >but have not been able to find a copy of the control deck manual yet. Moto still sells it so we can't scan it and PDF it yet. Most of the cards are identical to those in a Micor except for the connector and the paint. Many of the interfacing articles for Micor stations apply. >Does anyone know where I can get a PDF copy? Not from repeater-builder.com >Has anyone used one of these to build a two meter repeater? Lots of folks. A while back the Canadian govt surplused about 600 of the ones that were factory built on 136-150 MHz. Most went into ham repeater use. >Will the Intermittent duty PA survive at half power? No. Most of the time it gets dirty at about 50%. Run it at about 60% and use fans. See the comments on that web page. >Any help would be appreciated. Start reading the web page. >The machine is set up for wireline tone 2 frequency right now. There are interfacing articles on the page so you don't need to reinvent the wheel. If you do come up with a different type of wheel or a different way to retread the tire please write another article. >Thanks, >Dan Mike WA6ILQ
