I am talking about the newer Kenwood repeater's TKR's about the last 2 years or so. Also Kenwood has a new repeater the NXR-800 UHF and the NXR-700 VHF.
Will be testing the NXR-800 soon.

It seems they are pretty stable in the ones I've listened to over the air. Doesn't have the real quick drop-out of the Micor, but it's reasonable. I HIGHLY recommend, however, that the capability of putting the repeater in tone-access remotely be included. You WILL have the need to keep out-of-town signals on the same frequency from bringing up your repeater at some time or another.
