The ExecII should be pretty close to the MII, I would think. Don't spend good money on the made-for-ham boxes. First, they're more expensive then the RB conversions, and they WON'T work as well. I think I've heard of people converting Mitreks too, although like most, the PA's don't go. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
