Re: VHF MSR 2000 There are actually at least three vhf ranges in the MSR family.
Depending on the specific model and duty cycle you'd need to check the numbers against the book chart. The receiver is the first thing to check... there are high range versions that don't come down into the ham bands without serious (pain in the @$$) mods. Most of the transmitters will do the entire range without mods... just the proper alignment. The PA should first be checked by the book/manual for the band range and by asking various people (with serious msr experience) for their thoughts. Almost every MSR VHF PA will work down into the ham band turned down. Some models and versions adjusted down a lot (75%) ... some at nominal values. There are so many different models of the PA it's probably easier to get the actual model number and also write down the receiver model and check them with the book AND an "msr person". Most flying blind msr people convert the commerical units down to the ham bands only to trash the power amplifier by running it well above the de-rated out-of-band range values (power level). Smart to see you asking the questions first... cheers, skip > > I have an opportunity to acquire a MSR 2000 VHF base station > > that is currently channeled for 159.075 Mhz.
