Re: [Repeater-Builder] VHF Maratrac As A Repeater Transmitter?

[Randy Nelson]

Mike, I would then assume you would recommend selling the Maratrac and using the procedes to buy what?  Which Motorola radio in a similar price range would be your choice? I can't afford a MTR2000 or similar repeater but rather converting a high power mobile into repeater service with proper cooling of course.

I have a Maratrac and don't know whether to use it as my repeater transmitter or opt for a Mitrek instead. Any opinions? Randy WB0VHB Think of a Maratrac as a 100w trunk mount 99-channel Maxtrac. It has all of the problems that a synthesized low duty cycle mobile radio would have in repeater duty, plus a potential cooling problem. If you can live with a low duty cycle, and noisy sidebands, I guess it would work, but personally I'd keep the Maratrac as a mobile and use something made for the job. Mike WA6ILQ YAHOO!
