Thank you for all the replies and great information. I have another question on code selection. Other than 411 being a code used for open repeater, what is the criteria for picking a DPL code. Also it looks like PL being preferred to DPL is not RFI specific as I have seen on frequency lists

Hi all. Built up a copy of the DC supply that was in a old Micor manual.  Used the caps and filter choke from an old supply.  Add a LM 317 with heat sink.  Added MOV's and additional hf caps.  Seemed to work fine. This fed a full micor repeater with all the normal modules.  Worst case 9.6
