Well---I never said it was a <good> idea... Actually, they CAN be acceptable ***IF*** you are very careful with tuning (spectrum analyzer is a BIG must!), and once it's set DON'T TOUCH IT!!!! Oh, you'll probably have to replace ALL the trimmer caps too. There is ONE on the air I know of in NE Ohio, and it's been on the air for abt 15 yrs at a very high profile site, co-located with abt 12-15 1/4KW Micor stations, among other things. The tx stays clean enough, and the receiver is usable, but it's got bunches o' filters and stuff on tx and rx, besides the 6-can tx-rx duplexer. And at that the rx still gets crap. But it does run. It does need to be watched on a VERY frequent basis, too. For the kind of purpose I was talking about, again once it's tuned LEAVE IT ALONE and it should be alright. Maybe a pass cavity on the tx wouldn't be a bad idea tho...
