Any particular advantage of Maratracs over Motorola Maxtracs? (I've sort of standardized on Maxtracs (for 10 & 6m) as so many are used in our repeater system so there're lots of resources for 'em in our radio/repeater club.)
Are manuals & programming software for Maratracs available? They look like Mitreks on the outside & Maxtrac on the inside! Bigger radio, more heat sink, I'd guess a higher duty cycle than Maxtracs. I recently did NOT buy four Maratracs in a bundle at a recent hamfest, all programmed up for 10m, 6m, 2m & 70cm for $800; price seemed steep to me; seller would not break up this quad; he didn't know anything about Maratracs at all so I couldn't make an informed decision. --John --- On Wed, 8/26/09, Mac McCullough <w...@austin.rr.com> wrote: From: Mac McCullough <w...@austin.rr.com> Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Low Power VHF Repeater - Solar To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, August 26, 2009, 8:50 AM go with Lo band, way good coverage, lo band maratracs are in abundant supply, 50.00 or less, no repeater to mess with .. lo band would work well. ymmv mac/mc w5mc ----- Original Message ----- From: tahrens301 To: Repeater-Builder@ yahoogroups. com Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 9:42 AM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Low Power VHF Repeater - Solar
