My time to chime I had been running spectrums for years.2 meter transmitter died in one machine replaced it with a Maggorie..  nice and clean.. does the job.  I replaced a Hamtronics receiver in another machine with a MastrII receiver. Until  my Maggorie arrived.  After I installed the Maggorie I am Not even looking back.. The club said there was nothing wrong with the coverage they had at the site.. I knew the coverage should have been better... with the Maggorie receiver the club thought I moved the machine to a Better site.. receive coverage  more than doubled. The machine is Running 180 watts into the Duplexer.with No desense. The Mastr II receiver I had in there was getting desensed  I have had micor repeaters, spectrum,GE MastrII's RCA and ICOM..  I figured I would try the Maggorie.  I have No regrets BTW. the Icom was an ok machine. nothing special. got rid of it.  The micor is still on the air in NY(147.345) Islip. the RCA is my 440 backup. Spectrum still on the air. 224.5 Monroe Twp,NJ  MastrII is now backups. on 6 meters and 2 meters Maggorie Boards now on the air. 147.120 Oldbridge,NJ Neal Ka2caf Jim B. wrote: pm3349714 wrote: Hello to the group. From March 1978 to sometime in 1983 the Clegg boards and Midland, along with a few others were used. Since then It has been our own equipment. So Jim I guess you were wrong! I would bet that you have not even seen any of our equipment that you keep bashing. You would not answer my emails to you personally asking you what the models you claim to have worked on or have seen. There are several repeater owners on this list that have our equipment and can tell you that alot of your statments about our (Maggiore) equipment are false. Paul Maggiore AA3VI Maggiore Electronic Lab (HiPro) This doesn't even deserve an answer...but, Russ, you really need to stop pushing this stuff so hard. Those of us that know better are getting tired of it, and the newcomers are getting led down the wrong path. Icom is the only made-for-amateur repeaters worth the time of day, and even those had controller problems. I see no reason to spend thousands + for that stuff when you can put together a Motorola or GE for a few hundred, and get a better receiver, cleaner transmitter, better audio, and a more reliable RF package.
