Why do you say its a pain to deal with Canadian Customs? As importers, we deal with the Customs. Ham equipment is duty and most times tax free. Just avoid UPS. They are crooks. Example: last year I got a yaesu combiner off a ham in Minnesota. it was still in the yaesu package card. I

One of the simplest and easy repeater to build (to my mind) is to hook up two Motorola PRO series radios with a Cat controller, your duplexers, Antenna, cables etc and you are good to go. A good reliable 12 Volt D.C. Power source of course. I have one running for years now. You will also need some
