I put the Motran to bed, it's gonna rest in piece. As for the Regency, it might not look impressive inside, but to an IFR, well it made the grade at .02 sensitivity, so until something comes along on the cheap line, as I have spent more money than I should have, I'm gonna use what I have available. But I do appreciate all the input. A fellow ham, gotta bless his heart, was trying to be helpful in making a contribution. I never ment to start a thread that would lead to in/outs of old klunkers. I gave up electronics 12 yrs ago, and trying to remember what I forgot is easier said than done. Either way, the repeater is repeating, and that was my goal. Someday someone will reinvent the wheel, Just won't be me. But hey, I'm having fun with it.
