[Repeater-Builder] best radios for 2 meter repeater
We are looking at replacing our old 2 meter repeater and wanted to get ideas on what would be some good radios that have %100 duty at around 40 watts. We have a motorola service center here in town so that is a plus. Thanks! Bob__Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] best radios for 2 meter repeater
we are going to use a Kenwood TKR-740 with amplifier. It is a high end repeater like the one's we use on UHF(TKR-840) for some time with no problems. If you like I will let you know how it works out.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] best radios for 2 meter repeater
We have been using the TKR-750's for a couple of years with good results. They are rated at 50 watts intermittant, or 25 continuous. We run ours at about 30 watts with no problems, not quite the 40 you were asking for, but close. Joe --- BOB UNICK [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yea yet me know how it turns out.

Are you committed to Motorola? or would a good used GE interest you? Either way, contact Scott at repeater-builder at 814-444-9460, weekdays during normal business hours eastern time. Otherwise, do you know anybody at the MSS ? If yes, ask them what they are pulling out of service. A large number of business radio systems have been or are being retired... as an example in this area every single plumber, air conditioning repair, and other business that you would find on a community repeater system are now using cellphones. The local water company didn't bother installing the 2-way radios in the new trucks this time around... the company calls the crew foreman's cellphone. Even the local cab company has decommissioned their voice dispatch system - they are using their radio channel for digital dispatch/automatic vehicle locating and all voice traffic is via cellphones. In short, voice 2-way for small business is a dead market. See what the MSS has available. They may just have a MSR-2000 or a Micor station in the back room gathering dust. Or ask them if they have any decommissioned equipment up at the repeater site(s). The local shop was storing 4 Micor stations in one of their hilltop buildings because they had no space in the back room. If they have nothing, look around on the net. A while back I saw a MSR2000 Repeater for about $600, and a MSF5000 for about $1200. If you buy something like that, do not buy as is or tech special - spend a little extra and get a warranty. And manuals! A large number of Moto manuals are NLA - no longer available. You don't want something that you can't get docs for. So before you hand over a check, make sure that it either comes with manuals or you can get manuals. A start would be to look at the repeater-builder web site - there is a page of used equipment vendors. Mike WA6ILQ Yahoo!

If your club or group is a 501(c)3, you might be able to get the MSS or old system owner to donate the gear as a tax write-off. Better check with your tax guy for particulars. 73, have a good holiday weekend, Neil - WA6KLA Mike Morris WA6ILQ wrote: At 07:33 AM 5/27/05, you wrote: We are looking at replacing our old 2 meter repeater and wanted to get ideas on what would be some good radios that have %100 duty at around 40 watts.
