Jed, The Northern Virginia FM Association ( check them out on the web) has a
Kendecom 220 repeater that has been on the air up there for over 25 yrs.
The licensee is Steve Floyd, W4YHD.  If you have any questions about it you
could email ( copied on this email ) and I'm sure he would be very happy to
talk to you about his machine in Fairfax, Va on 224.100.   '73, Mike

Kendecom (MCS)
Reliability - pretty good.
Sensitivity - IMHO deaf.
Squelch - sucks.
Difficulty to interface to a controller - more difficult than most.
Nice pretty blue box!

A MICOR or GE that has been properly converted will blow it away, and 
for a lot less money.
