No - I'm saying in a mobile there is no need for duplex operation, so why not '(save) a dollar or two on the cost' when you're not affecting the operation of the mobile? There was no need for two synthesizers, so you can't fault them for not designing it with two. Yes - most REPEATERS have two.

OK - so it's a wall mount RANGR - actually, a wall mount RANGR 450. Those have very low duty cycles. Again, they may have increased it when combined with the fan. Still, not good in any respect for repeater use. If it's that big of a deal, get the crystals on an emergency basis (48 hours). You
