Amen... Unless you are paying site rent by physical size or have very limited space in a new project the Micor and GE Master Series are great Repeaters. A lot of people think anything older than 5 of 10 years is not new enough or about ready to crap. One reason a lot of our public safety agencies put in for new radio gear every few years. Not to mention fewer available people actually knowing how to actually work on two-way electronics anymore and having the proper test equipment to service radio equipment. A salesman can always make new radio equipment seem justified when there's real serious money to be made. Funny how that works... If you have a Micor or similar type Repeater... keep it in service as long as you can. Do the normal service on it (something we can actually talk about here) and find spare parts for it cheap. Silly people give them away... dumb people throw them away... My only gripe about the Micor and similar radios is the original base/repeater power supply being real energy hungry (because I pay the electric bill). cheers, s.
