I have a number of the VXR-7000 UHF repeater on the air for community repeaters for a number of years with NO problems. They are on towers with a master receive and rx ant setup. We are a Vertex dealer and I can say for a 50 watt unit we have had not problems. The other repeater we have out there are the Kenwood TKR-840 and they also have given us no trouble. The Micor's we have seem to give us the most but when they work they work very well. Some time next year we are going to replace they with the newer units.

Yes, I am referring to the VXR 7000. What kind of duplexer did you buy for it? I thought "the club guys" were overly quick to dismiss the Vertex as a toy. What kind of environment is your 5000 in?
