That is a Q202G style duplexer. The 7 diameter cavity is actually 6 5/8 OD and the can length is 24. The 32.5 is for the length of the rod extension. The proper VHF can for going down to 132MHz is actually 26. The best harness is RG214/U with crimped Delta connectors - not sure if it is a

Is it possible that the changing of operation frequency to MARS has caused the PA to become unstable and the resulting spurs are causing the protection circuit to dial back the power? Look at the output on a spectrum analyzer when the power loss occurs. Also, what happens to the PA current draw

Micor conversions work very well, but are rather involved. MVP/Exec/Mastr II conversions are much easier and work as well. The MVP package works out really well. Both the Motorola and GE radios rely on a different PA. Most use a hybrid brick to get power. I have several of these I've been
