Hipro E, they work just fine. I have 3 of the r1s, and they have never failed.

They have lots of problems with spurious/unstable output, intermod rejection on rx, poor transmit audio filtering, resulting in 'splatter', and just the shear fact that you can get commercial quality for much less. The ideal is a Micor/MastrII/MSF5000/MastrIII type station, all of which you should be able to find used for less then the Hi-Pro costs, so you can put the money into other things, like antenna, feedline, duplexers, and a conroller. You may not need 100W by the way. I run abt 50-60 on UHF, with abt 30 after the duplexer, giving me, oh, I think 180 or so ERP, and it is quite nicely balanced for a 2-4 W portable. The Kenwoods mentioned will also serve you much better than a Hi-Pro. Also here in Ohio your choice of frequency is not correct. You will be on 443.xxx. I don't know if he'll pop up, but Fred, W8HDU, from Lima has been on this list in the past and may have some insight in the local arrangements. I thought there was a couple of 2M repeaters in the BG area that were filling the bill... -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
