Hi Joe,
Yep, I know I worked on the entire GE line when the entire line
came
out MASTRII, EXECII, MVP and MASTR PE HT. The MASTR EXECII is
similar to the MVP or vice versa.

That's the exception, not the rule. Typically UHF (non tripler) MII's go
for
$75 - $100. But even at that price, you are looking at the RF being

It seems a lot of the complaints are from oscillator drift and
tuning drift. I have a few questions Does anyone know if the main
problem resides in the exciter, or the power amp? My plan would
eliminate all problems related to the oscillator because the Tx and
Rx will be generated from a pair
I think much of the problem is in the
tuning caps on both the exciter and PA.

Yup, the UHF Mastr-Pro transmitter will do that if you don't do
the maintenance on it properly.
I have worked on a few of those transmitters over the years.

After all the wornings from the group, and the offer of a great ham
