TPL I will never consider. We used their 300-W amps for low-band at work, they'd oscillate unless we put in a second TR Relay with a 50-ohm dummy load, then they'd burn up. Not to mention, the 100-w ones we had were very dirty if we ran them above 35w or so. One brand I considered was Crescend

We have had a Henry 5-10 in 100 plus out in service on a UHF Community Repeater. Bought it fifteen years ago this last July and have had it serviced twice in fifteen years..NOT BAD IN MY OPINION. And best of all Ted Henry is only a phone call or E-Mail away to help with questions. 73 JIM

Jim, The problem here is that the pin numbers shown on the schematic diagram in the MaxTrac manual are not in their physical order. In fact, the pins are numbered 1-2-3-4-5, with Pin 1 closest to the side of the radio. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From:
