As as addition to my question a few posts back, I have this MSR-2000 amp. It is the medium duty model and is very clean.
I see from the PDF file on the website it needs 13.8 and 9.3 volts for the control board. There is a 3 pin male recepticle on the inside rear of the unit, which I believe is the interface to the rest of the MSR repeater. Is this where I apply the 9.3 volts as well as +13.8VDC? I did try this with no luck. Ran thru some of the tests outlined in the PDF file and it seems ok. But feeding in 200mW from my HT does nothing, and I went right thru the UHF band. I got this off of Flea bay so most likely its a very expensive boat anchor. ANyone done this before - converted this amp to stand-alone application? Thanks Ian VA2IR
