In the TKR750 service manual under specs it use to state for continous duty turn down to 15 W. Have to look hard for this spec. The PA was, not sure if still is, a one transistor PA and have seen the PA PCB chard around the transistor. This was a Ham repeater. Most commerical applications

Paul, It depends on what portables you are using with the Kenwood repeater. Some, but not all of the newer CPS programmed equipment have a setting checkbox marked something like Use non-standard PL decode which can be set on a per channel basis. With this feature enabled the squelch

You have to keep in mind that they chose 120 degree shift because they had problems with 180 degree shift breaking reeds. 120 degree shift stops them at a softer rate and increases longevity. The other manufacturers didn't care because they weren't around pre-microprocessor based decoding
