Just because they use tubes? TAS lifetime subscriber? But - to answer your question - you could build a tube type repeater - it's your time to spend as you wish. Your best bet would be to search hamfests or go to the Dayton Hamvention and try to find a copy of the "Radio Amateur's F-M Repeater Handbook" by Ken W. Sessions, c.1969, and any other period literature you can find. Once upon a time hams did make repeaters out of the tube type stuff when it was plentiful on the surplus market in the 1960's. You might also check with your local two-way radio shops - it's just possible they may have an old tube type repeater sitting around that hasn't made it to the landfill yet. If not that - they might have some old manuals for tube type repeaters. Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
