Eric, Thank you for your quick reply.
I would agree with you in your comments below. I should point out that I have 3x 60watt models for the RX's and 2x 110 Watters for the TX (set at 60 watts), so I have spares to swap out as required. I would hope I don't have that many failures at one time, but switching around would and could be done if required. I should of also mentioned that it is in the connector head for the RX unit that I only was looking at the RX voltage. Was thinking that if I do not need to power the TX side, why waste fitting the wires, and also the need to power it (that side)? The radios are fully modified, all the same. Thanks Kevin.

Kevin, When you are using separate radios for TX and RX, it is a good idea to perform all modifications to both radios, so that they are identical. When one radio fails, you can simply switch them and be back on the air in minutes. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gmail - Home Sent: Friday, January 11, 2008 6:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola Mitrek Power Question. Hi All, Just a quick question to confirm before proceeding to finish. I have a low band Mitrek on 10mtrs. I am using 2 radios, one for RX and one for TX. The TX is working fine, and now I am just fixing a couple of issues on the RX. I note in the manual and Mike's information the wiring for the power (voltage), noticing the 3 main wires for it, the large wire for the PA, pin 12 for TX and pin 4 for RX. Now because the radio is only going to be used in RX mode, I am wondering if I can leave the large wire (which goes to oin 17 I think) and pin 12 off and only run power to pin 4 for the RX side??? Thanks and look forward to your reply. Kevin, ZL1KFM
