Re: [Repeater-Builder] Low Power on VHF/UHF Maxtracs

[James]

If you have a 25 Watt Maxtrac, GM300, CDM750, CDM1250, etc. They were all sold as 1 - 25 watts, this means that you can set those ones most anywheres you like. I have several 25 watt radios as link radios. At least one of them is set to 2 watts, and the other is at 15.

For a 25W radio, I have run them at 10W with no problems. At 10W, with a good fan, I'd say a Maxtrac/Radius mobile would probably be ok for continuous duty. 73's de N4BWP Brian --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All Here is a simple question or two. Consider these questions for both VHF/UHF. These questions are based with the idea of using a maxtrac as a low power (2-10 watt) link. Can a maxtrac, (unlike a Micor) be turned down in power without bothering the finals? _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!
