Ted, You are luckier than most in my area, me included - almost all of the repeater sites I have visited are not temperature controlled environments. They are usually elevator penthouses, so not only are they cold in the winter and hot in the summer, they are filthy with graphite dust. Inasmuch, I've always opted for the extra "security" of having the elements temp compensated. I've used both ICM and Bomar, and been happy with both.

We have 4 repeater sites, and they are all in temperature controlled rooms. In these cases, would you agree that just netting the ICOMs in their operating enviroment would be sufficient, using non-compensated ICOMs?
