Bob,

With all due respect, President Bush getting back into office has had nothing to do with the sale of your Motorola Mitrek.  Remembering your post of October 10:
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Repeater-Builder/message/43329>  the only reason you didn't sell it is you asked way too much for it.  When you ask an unfair price for something, you should expect not to sell it.  $250.00 for a used Motorola Mitrek is simply outrageous.  These commonly sell at larger hamfests (like Dayton) for $5 to $25.  I have purchased them on eBay for under $25, and had under $50 in them delivered to my door.

As far as using the PA section on your repeater, I wouldn't do that.  The Mitrek PA is not known for its reliability in continuous repeater duty at 90% + of its rated power.  Its a mobile, and should be used accordingly.  My opinion; if you don't need the Mitrek because its just in your way, consider selling it for a fair price and put that money toward a real power amplifier for your repeater.

I have a Motorola Mitrek UHF 110 Watt Mobile I plan to use the PA on my uhf repeaters radios, The Repeater is doing 9 watts output and was wanting to know if 9 watts will drive the PA ok or will the Transmitter need to be turn down on power to drive the PA without blowing the PA.
      
<---Why would you want to do that? Aside from whether or not 9 watts is too much drive for it (which it is!), the Mitrek PA is not continuous duty. So why bother?
