The Micor's. Decidedly. The Syntor's will work just fine, but (1) you need two of them to make a repeater, where the Micor is duplexable in-cabinet, and (2) the Syntor's are more radio then you need for a repeater, since they are programmable to 32 channels or so, where the Micor is crystal controlled, and putting more then one or two channels in them starts getting expensive quick. Make the repeater out of a Micor, and program the Syntor's as user radios! Check out Repeater-builder.com under Motorola. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
