If you're looking for a commercial-grade repeater, buy a TKR-740
rather than a TKR-750, or a TKR-840 instead of a TKR-850.
The Kenwood TKR-x50 repeaters are their economy, low-tier repeaters that
do quite well at construction sites and non-demanding applications. As

Probably about $50 for crystals, I suggest sending
the channel element to ICM to have the crystal installed and temperature
compensated.
Keep in mind too that you will need to tune the
radio to the new frequency. It will be well worth your efforts, you have a fine
machine.
...And yes,
Gene, what is wrong with the duplexer you presently
have? You stated that you already had a system up and running and were replacing
the radio with a Micor (although you did say units, not sure if you are talking
about using two mobile units or not)
