What makes you so special to appraise these two dealers all the time for months here. How about giving some constructive info how to hook up the comp spec board to a Magiore repeater, there was a fellow here asking for that info, we didn't see you answer him, I just see you here plugging dealers most of the times, i guess its time for me to unsubscribe.   Fred ----- Original Message ----- From: russ To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 5:30 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] 220 mhz antenna On the Metro-Comm repeaternet work we use PD-200's, PD-220's made by RFS (old Celwave) and DB-224 for two twenty. Give Cook Towers a call tell them you are a Ham. There toll free number is 877-992-2665. They carry the above.
