In Corvette circles, battery tenders tend to be fairly common as many
Vette owners don't drive 'em at all during winter. As such there are
many good (and well tested) battery tenders out there. Here is one
that is recommended pretty frequently (and pretty cheap at $40)

---When it only transmits for a few microseconds when its first
keyed up, that is usually a good indicator either the alignment is
off or you have a failed part. Best thing you can do is see what the
test set tells you

Can anyone tell me how you can convert a TKR-750/850 U.S. model to
be used for amateur radio frequency? I see that people have. There
is a European model that includes amatuer bands, but can't get it
here in the U.S. Thanks!

Ken,
How about the TKR-840? Any idea if that one will go down via the
software and tune without issues as well?

All band repeater?
Sounds like some I've seen (whose name shall remain unmentioned)

spread spectrum!)

this unit need to be hooked to the computer and set in some way

Our repeater is a Kenwood TKR-850-1 and it does it's station ID as CW.
The problem is that that ID is far louder audio than the voice volume.
I'm a complete newbie at this, and not even at the repeater site. I
downloaded the manuals

Contrary to mythology, you do NOT need the special (expensive)
