I agree in general that converted mobiles make good ham repeaters. But
if I wanted a compact energy efficient repeater I would consider using
the Hamtronics boards. I've had lots of experience with both units on
VHF and UHF. The Hamtronics boards will cost you a lot more but you
will learn more by building them that just doing a mod. As for energy
efficiency I've never seen a modified mobile that would operate at 20
watts with just a few amps input.
