Hello all,
I'm in the process of rebuilding one of my repeaters and I'm looking to place a
UPS in line for backup.
I'm looking for information on make and models - what's good and what to stay
away from. The VA range is 1300 to 1500, and I'm willing to spend no more than
$200.00.

APC makes good UPS' . Just be sure you have a regular schedule to change the
batteries. I would recommend 2 to 3 years.
Stay away from their air conditioners, they are crap.

Don, If this is your requirements, you may need to think about going to
a straight battery back-up. $200.00 may make a good downpayment on a
UPS that will give you any type of repeater running time.

If your only need a fixed ctcss/dcs code then the front panel
octal thumb-wheels are not required for the non-analog Mitrek
ctscc/dcs boards.
The original ctcss unit for your 1964 repeater was probably some
very large long copper tone reeds... aka vibra sponder/senders
on steroids.

That was going to be my suggestion... You gain a boatload of efficiency
that way.. Just build a 12v AGM battery bank and float it with a power

You can get SU2200RM3U units for that price on eBay.
These weigh 50 lbs and the 8 batteries weigh another

nearly $90 for all the shipping.

Hello Don,
AGM batteries, IOTA power supply/ charger. Do a google search on each. DO
NOT CHARGE ATM BATTERIES WITH A CHEEP CHARGER!!! Only one time with a cheep
