I have a TLD-1100 vhf rcc unit in my garage somewhere. I used to use it many years ago on the local rcc. Are these things worth anything?
I think I also have an old motrac vhf radio that I had on rcc before that. I bolted a duplexer on the top of it and made it full duplex and turned the power down so it didn't fry the final. Worked pretty good! 73 Gary K4FMX > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:Repeater- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Milt > Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 10:50 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Moto Pulsar 120 (IMTS phone war > stories) > > If it was a copper colored square channel element, then the radio should > have been about 2ft long, 6"high, and 15" wide and weighed enough to > eliminate the need for the extra couple of sandbags in the trunk in the > winter.
