BTW the Kenwood 820 also makes a nice homebrew D-STAR repeater as
well. Still working on some desense issues but NW7DR B transmits and

I would highly recommend the Kenwood TKR-850 there are many systems that use

board PA have a look at the Crescend Technologies web page and they have a Ham
Radio discount program.
Easy answer.
We have a Motorola of that vintage in as a temporary repeater --
our earlier Yaesu/Vertex and TPL amp failed last month after over 12 years of
full-time service.
We are assembling a new repeater system --
and plan to have the Kenwood TKR-850 as the main component of the new system

I appreciate your reply. I currently have an old Johnson CR1000 that a

Skipp,
I agree with nearly every point you made, having had
experience with both the Kenwood and Hamtronics repeaters.
However, Hamtronics and similar repeaters have one serious
