To ALL; If you have never tuned one of these receivers up, you should get one and DO IT! Tweaking the helical front end is amazing! It's so intuitive and something that will be LOST forever in the digital age. They won't be around forever. I even have a VHF MastrPro mobile NEW IN THE BOX!! I scrapped lots of the tube transmitters and mobile power supplies,,, but I did KEEP the receivers!...

I agree, the Pro was a pleasure to tune when it was woking right. Of course the Progress line was also a pleasure to tune, both TX and RX. I hated to do it but a short while back I took all the Pro stuff to the landfill. Sid.

Fred W5VAY That's a shame Fred later down the road you might realize the GE Master Pro Receiver is one heck of a decent unit and still quite usable. The transmitters a bit of a power pig because most of them have tubes in them... but again the receivers are still quite killer (good). Hopefully someone close to you will realize the receivers are well worth having and quite usable for a current project. cheers, s.

Most of my repeaters are Mastr Pro repeaters. One of them in a carrier squelch repeater operating at a VERY high level RF site and it performs perfectly. -- Original Message -- Received: Sun, 13 Jun 2010 09:08:04 AM PDT From: skipp025 skipp...@yahoo.com To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: GE MASTR Professional Equipment To All: I am going to get completely away from MASTR Pro equipment.

I'd start with the 20 footers as they're easier to move in place. :-) s.

Wish the shipping was affordable. I'd like one just as a souvenir. At the time it came out, I thought it ran circles around anything else available and, as Skipp and others noted, it's still an excellent receiver. Which band are your radios on?

Fred W5VAY That's a shame Fred later down the road you might realize the GE Master Pro Receiver is one heck of a decent unit and still quite usable. Ditto, for the most part. The IF/detector/squelch is a bit quirky (mine always quiet better on one side of center freq., open squelch easier on the opposite, noisier side), and the IF is a bit wider not easily narrowbandable like the MVP/Exec II/Mastr II series - a problem when using the VHFHB RXs @ 15 kHz channel spacing on 2 meters. But the inherent shielding filtering you get with the case makes them really convenient to use in certain situations. Also never heard of any tin whisker problems with those RXs, maybe because there's no tin in the helical housing? Bob NO6B
