Hi Matt, Re: Icom IC RP1520 repeater receiver needed
I had such a horrible time trying to get parts for an Icom 220MHz Repeater Receiver Repair that I retrofitted a Synthesized Hamtronics right into the Icom Chassis/box. Much to my delight... the replacement Hamtronics Receiver worked Killer (excellent) and I put the box back in service for a number of years until the Transmitter VCO died (became to unstable to trust). Now that the Icom Repeater is pretty much a non working cabinet I pulled the Hamtronics Receiver from the Icom Repeater Chassis, bought the matching Hamtronics Transmitter strip and made the pair into a repeater. Last May I created a folder in the Group Photos Section to provide some pictures. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Repeater-Builder/photos/album/0/list "224 MHz Home Brew Repeater Project" the first folder in the Group Photos Section. The "Homebrew 224MHz Repeater Project worked out so well... I have since built six of the little buggers, three four our system needs and three at the request of others. So the retrofit Hamtronics Receiver is an option you might consider. cheers, skipp skipp025 at yahoo.com > Matt Harker <kc5...@...> wrote: > > Hi Everybody! > > I have an Icom IC-RP1520 2 meter repeater station that has a bad receiver in > it.
