I built the first micro-processor controlled repeater (what was believed to be) in the state of Ohio back in 1973. It was the WR8AET 146.85 repeater and the processor I used was the very first Intel microprocessor, the 4004 which was a 4 bit machine with 16 instructions !!
This repeater eventually became the W8VP repeater.

I built a Z80 based controller during 79 and 80 that ended up with 6 K of assembly language and 4 radio ports. As soon as I replace the watchdog timer's capacitor (again) it'll be back on the air. 73's WB6YMH --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Ken Arck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi folks > > Is anyone aware of the earliest use of a synthesized remote base on an > amateur repeater?
