Hi, Is there a point inside the Mitrek that one can take the audio out to the controller (in this case a Link-Comm RLC-2A)? A low band Mitrek (33Mhz) I have downloaded the information from"Lou's Mitrek Repeater Conversion" and a couple of others which mention a schematic for emphasis before going into the controller. Taking the audio out on pin 11. I would like to leave this out if possible and feed directly?

Eric, I would think a coil retro like what I make available for the MICOR will also work in the Mitrek. This approach would be way better than tacking some added wire onto the existing coil or modifying the screws in which I know that is a bad idea. Is there something special about the Mitrek front-end that you believe would prohibit such a conversion? It's been a while since I messed with the Mitrek but I don't remember anything that would prohibit the correct length coil to be installed... Kevin
