We have replaced all of our amps with Crescent Amps (14) on the Metro-Comm repeater system and they all have given us zero problems. (bad power supplies) Very happy with them and the dealer in NJ we got them from. Great service after the sale. They even called us to see how we where making out. But a word to the wise if they offer you a power supply to go with the amp run a way! They sent us duracom power supplies at 1st. They made enough noise on the two meter repeater in put to course the receiver to open up. They did replace all of the power supplies with Astron at no charge. Good luck, Russ, W3CH
