Get a Syntor X , programmable and will run 100 watts plus.

Thanks guys. Looks like this radio might work; need something for a
6-meter beacon transmitter. Tried a Mocom but it wasn't functional.
Tried a Maxtrac but the carrier was really squirrely even when I tried
the various mods, must be due to the PLL instead of crystal-control.
Have to see how the carrier sounds on the Mitrek; if it's good I'll
have one of the TX channel elements re-crystalled. Been trying to get
something for a 6-meter beacon that doesn't cost a fortune, on and
off for the past few years between other projects, and finding it a
lot more difficult than it was finding a suitable 10-meter beacon
transmitter! Learning a lot in the process though, that's a good thing...

Jeff,
The reason that most trunk-mount radios are locked is to prevent
theft and
tampering. The lock has no electrical function. You will need the
ubiquitous #2135 key to unlock your Mitrek drawer. You definitely
want to
open up the radio before applying power to it, so that you can
ascertain if
the channel elements are in place, and what optional components are
installed. Since Motorola shipped two keys with every radio sold, most
radio shops will have a drawer full of #2135 keys. If you ask, you
will
likely get one or two free.

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] dumb question: what is purpose of lock on
Mitrek?
Hi,
I know it's a dumb question, but after scouring the internet for
info, I
find everything about locks and replacement keys for Motorolas and
other
radios, but I still don't know what locking the Mitrek actually
does. Does
it kill all power to the radio, or disable certain functions? I'm
asking
because I just acquired a low-band Mitrek that I need to power up
and verify
its working condition. It doesn't have a control head, so I need
to use the
front panel pins, but if the radio is locked, I may end up getting
nowhere
and still not know if it's either the radio that is bad, it is
locked out,
or I wired it wrong. This is the first Mitrek I've had. Thanks for
any help.
