Good Morning Tom, I would have to run the driver just about on full bore though. (because of the 30 in 100 out amp...again only running it right now at 75 watts) I am a little nervous on running it like that. I wonder if anyone else is running the driver that hard and getting good results??

In Class C operation, especially when considering repeater operation, its way better to run an appropriate sized amplifier full bore than it is to run a bigger amp at 1/2 or 1/3 its rating. Class C amps run cleaner when properly (over) driven, as they will get spurious when under driven.

Not to get into a rules debate... BUT... Just because a radio was once type accepted doesn't mean it STILL is for a particular service. Not saying the Micor falls into this category, but it might. If a radio used to be TA'ed in 1961, it doesn't mean you can still use it today. So, the old TA
