I've been following this thread with interest, and have a couple of points which (of course) lead to more questions. The MASTRII RF strips are the same in the repeater chassis and the mobile rigs, band for band from low band to UHF. Flexibility and convenience options (and continuous duty PA issues) aside, why is a MII repeater station better used as a repeater than a MII mobile rig? I don't know if a Micor mobile and Micor repeater use the same RF strips or not..do they? If so, then the same question applies, with the same qualifiers. Same answer? Granted, a reliable repeater is not made from a pair of "whatever you can scrounge" mobile rigs with a controller in the middle. (Maxar comes to mind as something in that category). Also in that line up are amateur radios with 20% duty cycle, or practically anything that says Alinco on it. Where reliability concerns are fewer and convenience issues are greater, then latitude is greater and mobile radios with a controller in the middle (port-a-peaters) become attractive. Thoughts?
