They have lots of problems with spurious/unstable output, intermod rejection on rx, poor transmit audio filtering, resulting in 'splatter', and just the shear fact that you can get commercial quality for much less. The ideal is a Micor/MastrII/MSF5000/MastrIII type station, all of which you should be able to find used for less then the Hi-Pro costs, so you can put the money into other things, like antenna, feedline, duplexers, and a conroller. You may not need 100W by the way. I run abt 50-60 on UHF, with abt 30 after the duplexer, giving me, oh, I think 180 or so ERP, and it is quite nicely balanced for a 2-4 W portable. The Kenwoods mentioned will also serve you much better than a Hi-Pro. Also here in Ohio your choice of frequency is not correct. You will be on 443.xxx. I don't know if he'll pop up, but Fred, W8HDU, from Lima has been on this list in the past and may have some insight in the local arrangements. I thought there was a couple of 2M repeaters in the BG area that were filling the bill... -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL Yahoo!

Hipro E, they work just fine. I have 3 of the r1s, and they have never failed. Thanks, Jed -Original Message- From: Jim B.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Hi-Pro E
If you have a technical staff available to do your repairs, a repeater such as the Hi-Pro may be suitable. (Although I would personally recommend one). If you are planning on sending the repeater back to the manufacturer for any future repairs, Kenwood, Motorola, Icom, or some other similar brand would be more suitable and easier to get repaired. 73, Joe, k1ike David A.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Hi-Pro E
Lets see. I have 18 of the Hipro's on the air. I do not have to send them back as they do not break down. New Hipro's work just fine. The older ones do work like crap. I have 3 Kenwood UHF repeaters on GMRS and 3 on 900 MHz on Ham and they work fine. But the dealer I bought the Kenwood's from also has there own service center if we need. So I really do not under stand your reply. 73, Russ, W3CH Trustee Metro-Comm, INC W3PS. - Original Message - From: Joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, October 25, 2004 4:30 PM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Hi-Pro E If you have a technical staff available to do your repairs, a repeater such as the Hi-Pro may be suitable.
