Without getting into a 'that's what the rules are' discussion, I'll add
that it's technically impossible to make a repeater adjust the power
output since there are users (and more importantly control ops) who are
receiving only and not transmitting. If everyone were transmitting, it
is possible,

50 cant be heard beyond 75 miles. Try 500. The repeater on top of the
hospital is running 500. Another using 3500 watts.

Maybe the repeater RX is 3-13 dB hotter than most user RXs? ;-
As for T.E. Systems, I was turned off on them after one of their
amps caught fire and almost burned down an equipment shelter. 8-[

Please just answer the guys question. I know that MOST repeaters ARE
over 50 watts and some even have pre amps on them. A preamp of just 3
dB in theory
I suppose if you are real happy with the thought of a 130 watt
output repeater, so be it.
I used to use a 110 watt output mobile on the 2 meter band. I
now use a 25 watt mobile.
At one time, my two meter repeater had a PA deck problem. We
changed the operation from the 40 watt
I'm putting in a new repeater to replace an old one, but the new one is 50

Systems 1406, but I'd like to know what people on this list think.

Hi,
I generally keep quiet, and you will probably never hear me say
something bad about a product again, but here goes.
If I were you, I would avoid TE Systems like the black plague.
Their customer service is truly the pits. God forbid you need to get
your amplifier serviced, you
