If you can find a MSF 5000 C85GFB5203AT like the one I have modified to the ham band, then all you have to do is read a few of the nicely written articles in the Repeater-Builders website (authored by Bob, WA1MIK) and you will have a fine repeater (in this case with an external controller a CAT 200). I have had mine on the air since the first of the year.
They are not that expensive, when you take into account the labor (or lack there of!) in modifying it. They are still available on e-Bay, but horribly overpriced. Other places you can find them for more reasonable prices such as $400 to 500 for a moderately powered station.

Our group has not done any work with the 33cm band as of yet but several of us guys have felt the need to get a repeater and some stations up on this band to see what all the hipe is all about. We have heard good things and bad but please if anyone has any input as to this repeater we are all ears. We do already have 2 of the Motorola Maxtrac 2 Way (Model # D37MQA5GB2AK HUF1074A) and hope this is the best and easyest way to go with getting started in 900MHz. Thanks for any help, Luke KE5NWW
