Kenwood TKR-750 or TKR-751 version 2.
You just can't go wrong there. If you need ham band only get the K2 (138-150mhz
version). Otherwise get the K1 (146-174mhz version).

But, the TKR-750 and TKR-751 are continuous-duty only up to 25 watts.
Perhaps a Motorola MTR2000 would be a better choice.

Agreed, but here we have many '750's running at 50watts and have had no issues.
Of course, they are not transmitting 24/7.

Hi Ken and Norm,
On my UHF LTR system I have several home channels in the 5 ch system that
are almost continuous transmit during the date time. I have the TKR850's
running at 35wt and they have survived for two years so far with no ill
affects.

So running my 750 K2 at 50 watts for an hour or 2 solid when its hooked up to a
busy Echonlink system should be ok and I should worry less? I have been testing
some and it seems to run fine.

Scott, I would turn it down to 40wt for the VHF model if that is what your
looking to do on an Echolink node.

Sure, program the fan to run continuously regardless of temp and you should be
fine.

Pros over the 8924C: The display color CRT is replaced by a EL panel,
lower burn in. Duplex and Antenna connectors are N instead of BNC,

Cons: Spectrum Analyzer Is Optional, No Squelch knob, No auto

The 892x had a 100w RX option if I remember correctly. Though, most
of the units you'll find (and the cheapest) will be 2.5w, especially
as CDMA-based cellphone development is starting to wind down in favor
of W-CDMA and LTE.

Took a look at it today in the software for my TKR-750 K2. I set the high power
setting in the settings at 200. My watt meter is a poor one to use so I really
do not trust it when it say 40 watts, Its not a good Bird Meter. Is that number
good?

Hi Scott,
You cant go by that reading. Borrow a good watt meter would be the safe
thing to do.

You have put your finger on the major difference between modern Motorola and

So what settings should you have for the Motorola radios to avoid the

Either way you are going to hear a squelch crash. If you turn reverse
burst on, your transmitter will stay keyed slightly longer while it is
transmitting the out of phase pl signal that makes a compatible receiver
instantly mute. The Kenwood repeater receiver is not compatible (so it
seems).
