Pyramid SVR 200 vehicular repeaters are the same or worse. I set some up to work with maratrac radios and when I keyed the svr 200 with no audio input or pl encode the deviation of the dead carier alone was 400 hz white noise these things were so microphonic I could have tied a string and can to the case and used it for a microphone. I called the factory and they told me it was the vco they use and it was normal. I would not even consider running something like this on the ham bands unless I was desperate. On the other hand the hardware platform and software/firmware were great just the rf part sucked.
