Welcome to the list! A CAT-200 is a decent controller,but those Rangers
are not a good choice for a repeater. You would be better off with
something like a MastrII or Micor,crystal controlled and built for harsh
duty with tight front ends. The Ranger's power amp is not rated for
anything near repeater duty and will overheat. I prefer the MastrII base
stations,100%duty cycle and pretty much bullet-proof,my vhf has been in
continuous use for 27 years and still has the origional output
transistors in it. Come to think of it,the whole thing is origional
except for the upgrade to a PLL exciter. The audio is outstanding! I
also use a MastrII base on my 440 repeater and some mobiles for links
and remote bases,so I am biased. 73,Lee,N3APP,Erie,PA,USA
