a friend of mine is using the vertex 7000 450-470 MHz repeater at 443.225 with no problem and i just ordered a icom FR4000 450-480 MHz repeater to use at 444.825.
the seller programmed it for me before shipping and said it was putting out 8 watts on low power (all i need since i'm using a PA) and nearly 50 watts on high power. i hope to get the icom installed at the tower site next weekend and will let you know how it works. *DEREK* KD4ADL --- In [email protected], "barrypal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Anyone running the Icom repeater in the ham bands?
