Well, I have over 10 of them in service and as long as you DO NOT run them over 10wt they will survive with a small fan on the tx radio. Take a look at the web site and look at the Coburg site.

Any two VHF radios can be made to work as a repeater,but how they will perform is questionable. Most cannot sustain the duty cycle of repeater operation and will burn up quickly from overheating. The receiver may be too wide or sloppy and permit desense from the transmitter. Then you need to find the COR,PTT,Audio in/outs. All this if they even will program out-of-band. You may be better off with a Micor or a MastrII mobile conversion,they are cheap and proven performers. You can even buy them already converted,I have one VHF and one UHF for sale,Repeater-Builder also sells them ready to play! 73,Lee,Erie County Pa Skywarn,ARES,RACES member for 25 years...
