Are these MICORs mobile radios or Base Stations? I'd like to find a 25 Watt
(or 45 Watt) MICOR mobile. I really need only the drawer unit portion, to
actually use as a mobile radio. I always see lots of them at Dayton, but don't
yet know for certain if I'll be going this year.

sorry yes we use the TKR-840 I was thinking of the TKR-830's It has
been one of those days.
We have been replacing our Micor repeaters with the TKR-840 so I should
have know better.

You may have a different radio in mind, because the Kenwood TKR-740 and
-840
repeaters definitely do have built-in tone, and are full duplex. Very
high
quality units.

Ken,
How about the TKR-840? Any idea if that one will go down via
the
software and tune without issues as well?
<---So will the 850 - the standard KPG-91D software will program it
and it tunes down to the ham band very easily. I have personally had

tuned down to 436 with no spec' degredation
You seem to be getting some incorrect info. Besides, the 840 is a
low output radio (5 watts) meant to drive an external amplifier. Not to
mention, the 840 is GROSSLY more expensive than the 850.
As for the 851, there is absolutely no difference between it and the
850, save for one thing - the 850 is capable of only 25 watts maximum
whereas the 850 is capable of 40. Although admittedly the 850 is spec'd
at
25 watts only for continuous duty.
I can only warn you that there seems to be a LOT of misinformation
disseminated about the TKR repeaters for some reason. For example, you
do
NOT need to spend $100+ on a programming cable. A standard,
run-of-the-mill
serial cable is all that is needed (along with the KPG-91D software) to
program a TKR.
Hope this helps
