I can't really give you much information but our club is using a (digital) MSF-5000 on 2m and it works great. Of course it replaced a very tired GE Master Pro so almost anything would have been an improvement. I can't comment on the price as ours was donated by a local company that went to an 800mhz trunking system. It takes a computer with the Motorola programming s/w and an interface box and cable to do almost anything to the repeater - fortunately we have a member with the necessary skills and equipment. We use an Scom 7K controller on it which was simple to interface. There's a 25 pin DB on the MSF with all the necessary connections. Roger Grady K9OPO Your use of Yahoo!
