Hey Bob, I am not in Maine but I could tune them for you at no charge but you will have to pay shipping to NJ and back. Contact me off line.

They are very large, and VERY delicate. Banging around in a commvan, or a trailer, or any other frequent transport, will result in detuning, and likely damage. Agreed. UHF is a MUCH better plan for a portable repeater, ...or go to a wide (2.5 MHz) split on 2 meters. Many 6-section VHF mobile duplexers can be tuned just down to this spacing. Here in SoCal we now have a special repeater pair just for this purpose: 147.585 input, 144.930 output. Bob NO6B Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!

UHF is a MUCH better plan for a portable repeater, since a mobile duplexer will work, and the whole thing can be made into a desktop unit, with the duplexer internal. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL Yahoo!
