<---Many years ago, I converted a Pulsar II mobile into a repeater. They were kinda neat in this regard as they were like Micors, in the sense they only needed one xtal and had a 5 Mhz IF. So offsetting was easy. At the time, SoCal used reverse splits on UHF (don't know if they are still low in/high out down there) so it was a piece of cake to do. The only real problem I found with the Pulsar was that it used PNP PA devices (and perhaps even germanium ones too?), and was a PITA to repair. It was also basically a VHF radio with a varactor tripler and no active stages afterwards. Working from my photographic memory, which seems to be running low on film these days!
