Micor transmitter PA decks are known for going squirrely when the power is turned down. Sometimes the fix is to change out the 110 watt board for a lower power model. I can show you an operating 2 meter repeater that has been operating for several years using a 60 watt output PA deck. > Also would like to know if that will increase the duty cycle from > its 20%. Usually depends on which PA deck heatsink you have. Of course it will help to put some forced air on it too but that is not the 'fix.' > I have not called or stopped by because I have been out of town and > just got back a few days ago.

Quite a number of the more experienced amateurs on this remailer will happily tell you which manufacturers to stay away from. > Dan Neil - WA6KLA > > --- In [email protected], "d_tucker.rm" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > My name is Dan Tucker > > Here is what I have.
