When I first started, the existing radios were GE Mastr II’s. They actually had two receiver decks to cover the 800 KHz or so of our channel spread. When the system was finally phased out, we were using Motorola Maratracs with the handheld controllers. I had mine programmed with six meter channels as well; it was around 1 uV or so in the ham band as I recall. I was very impressed with the performance we got out of the Maratracs.
With the exception of the repeater at 1400’ which was a Mastr III, all of the stations were Mastr II’s.

I'm finding that the newer, wider front end, radios don't hear as well as the old 0.5-1 MHz wide receivers did. I can hit my 6-meter repeater full quieting, yet sometimes can hardly hear it due to mobile environment noise that you can't avoid driving past (computers, LAN equipment, etc., etc.) Chuck WB2EDV
