I'd sure like to do the same. I've often seen the 250/375 Watt MICOR stations available for $100 or less (even at hamfests like Dayton). I remember checking on the price of the main PA plate line assembly for the 2-Meter range 1/4 KW MICOR VHF PAs back in the early 1990's - Motorola had only one piece left in stock in Schaumburg, and it was $900+ at the time. I've never been successful finding an original 140-150 MHz range hig-power MICOR station PA.
I have one of these 155-MHz 375-Watt MICOR stations coming available locally soon, and would sure like to find a way to move it to 2-Meters. But both of my 2-Meter Repeater channels are in the 145 MHz range, which would be even more difficult than trying to move it down to the 147 MHz part of 2-Meters. No problem, of course, with the exciter, receiver, etc. - just this big PA deck. Hopefully someone, somewhere, someday will find a way to move these high-split 1/4 KW VHF MICOR PA decks down to 2-Meters!
