Hey Joe Im running the same thing a Converted Mitrek on 52.71/53.71 with a hardline Duplexer. ( off air at moment due to loosing duplexer in the house fire. setup worked great. Other machine is a MastrII 3000 watt repeater with Full size Commercial Duplexers.. Both are easy Conversions that work well. Neal-ka2caf
