I built up a GE Mastr II Auxiliary Receiver for the 53.09Mhz N1PAH
repeater in Pelham, Mass quite a few years ago. It was originally a UHF
receiver, but I swapped out the boards from a mobile lowband MastrII.
This is a stand-alone receiver in it's own rack mountable tray, some
come with a built-in AC power supply. It has performed flawlessly since
it's installation.
I have also used a MastrII receiver in my 6 meter repeater on 53.41 for
many years now. I never had a problem with it. It's older technology,
replacement boards are cheap, and you can actually see the components
(no surface mount).

I need a good receiver for our 6 meter repeater. It is on
53.090/52.090. What would be a good radio to look for. Preferably
crystal controlled and easy to tune. I am not completely ruling out
programmable radios, it's just that they are not my preference. If you
have something you would part with I might be a buyer.
