Thanks for the info, had a look at the HiProrepeaters WEB site but no manuals
etc for the Tx/Rx PCBs, might have to follow that up. I have already ordered 2
diplexers, one from here in Australia, the other from China.
Fiddling with them will be an interesting exercise :-)
Radios ordered so far are Hamtronics PCBs, 2 Vertex Commercial Transceivers
with back to back interface. Have a COR/ID kit coming (Electronic Gadgets)
My plan is to build a totally field portable, low power (10w or less) 70cm
repeater for limited coverage area use.
Test all the bits and compare performance etc.
If nothing else, it will be a load of fun!
Cheers,
Jack.

I'm a big fan of using Hamtronics Products... yes, there are often
lower cost surplus commercial radio choices for a more complete end
result. Those who demonstrate patience, which took me decades to
get a decent handle about applying to myself end up with a very
satisfying end result.

Not to mention the wondeful hands-on experience and exposure
you receive actually building things.
Are there any other suppliers who make a similar product
that I could buy and make a comparison for performance? Or,
should I just stick with the Hamtronics boards, alone?
Sure, Maggiore Electronic Lab offers similar products, of which
I'm also an owner and fan of...
