Kevin,
As others have said, the model# is key to knowing what to expect. My
personal experience is that if you are in the 146 or 147 MHz range you
may be OK, but if you are in the 145MHz range, you will probably need to
convert your amp to the low range. My TLD-1693 amp would only make about
Kevin,
A proper answer to your question requires advance knowledge of the
specific amplifier you have. Since you stated that your PA is rated at
110 watts, I must assume that it is an intermittent duty PA.
Intermittent duty PAs were offered in three band splits: 132-150.8 MHz
(TLD1682),
Greetings,
Anyone know where I can find a service manual for this repeater? I
am also looking for TX/RX strips for UHF operation. Can anyone point
me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Dennis, KB8YGC

Sorry about that I forgot. Model ET 58A I am not all that familiar
with the mastr pro series and just picked this one up last weekend
and wanted to convert to UHF.
Thanks!

Well, the first thing you have to do is determine what frequency
band it is on to begin with?
If it is on 49.56 MHz, it will be a very long and difficult pull
to get it to UHF.
This is the reason I asked for model (chassis) numbers. Without

One of the best ways to manage the charging of your batteries is to use

The method I have prefered over the years is the Motorola Micor

The radio site near here uses that power supply to run both

Just my opinion. I have the one power

Here is something neat. One of the repeater groups around here took a
