WE did about the same thing but the cabinet was in the basement and it had
to go up a circular staircase. Plus we did not have enough room to keep it
away from the wall.
So we spent a lot of time taking it apart and then going back together was
easier.
Much lighter with out everything in it.
I don't know the current frequency, but suspect it's in the
460/465 MHz range. Will it move down into the 440s without a
lot of grief?
Yes.
Also, I don't need anywhere near 100 watts, and need to avoid
abusing the good nature and power bill of my landlord. (Also
hope to have battery

The driver is 40 watts, just bypass the final board.
But if you're really trying to safe your landlord's electric bill, the ferro

I inherited one of these with two of radios, one for the repeater, one for a
link. On the link PA, the finals were taken out and only the driver was left.
Worked fine.

I'm working on a UHF ham repeater project for installation some time
next year, and was getting set to build one based on 35-watt Mitreks.
I've just been offered a 100-watt Mastr II UHF repeater, complete
including the cabinet, just taken out of service
would actually have some downside.
Controller will very likely be my S-Com 7K.
