I know a person who might be using a Kenwood TK805 for
an Echolink station. Probably a waste but the radio is
conveniently handy for this application.
If the plan works well, we might rock up an old Mocom-70,
Micor, Mastr II or Mitrek Super Consolette Station on UHF
for this use. Just depends on what I trip over first in
the garage.

For a while, we had a 1 1/2 watt 445 MHz link on a 115 mile
path.
