If it's a MASTR PRO PA the exciter is in the strip with the PA. How would you power it? do you have a power supply? Honestly I don't think it would be worth it unless you use the entire TX strip. I think the crystals are the same. If you decide to procede let us know how it goes. AC0Y --- In

Hi My experience with many panels have found the ones we standardised on was the ZETRON 38 series. We did this with our 19 repeaters purely because of less glitches and they too have a relay option for a given tone eg: external link PTT or light to be switched on etc-or an onite voice recorder

I used a Mastr Pro VHF for a digipeater years ago. I was on a hilltop that noone else could get anything on VHF working due to intermod and frontend overload. The Mastr Pro preformed flawlessly! Due to the passive front end, it seems imprevious to IM and overlaod. Sometimes sensitivity can be

The first active stage in the Mastr Pro was the mixer, the Mastr II has an Rf amplifier stage if my memnory serves me. That's the big difference.. As far as intermod and overload, there really is no huge difference between simplex and a repeater. Coy Hilton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If I
