I have been running a pair of maxon. SM-4150's for years. They actually sound good and have been completely trouble free. I am gonna build a Mastr II rptr one of these days to replace them, but I am not in a huge hurry. I wonder if anyone has tried a pair of maxtracs? I just put a huge heavy goldish colored heatsink on the back of one with the intent of making it the TX.

(I whipped up a very nice temporary 440 repeater using 2 Bendix-King EMV4990A mobiles and an NHRC-2 controller. People said it sounded better than the Icom repeater it was filling in for...)

I have on hand a tk-880 and a tk-805d power supply and antennas and required cable and software to program both. Is this possible or should I buy a ericson readymade repeater system?
