Hello ... You mentioned in an earlier e-mail the model number C53MHB-3100BR - I am looking at the manual, Motorola Part number 68P81005E75. Matt wrote: If it's possible to do this conversion and I end up doing it, this repeater won't see that much usage compared to a lot of other

Don't forget-Motrac and Micor cards are different! If you have Micor cards, you can, with some patience and a good soldering iron, re-wire it to work on the Motrac, but they are not pin-compatible. 'Course if you have Motrac cards, then that's moot ;C} Matt wrote: Thanks for the info. I

The part number, 25D84561A01, is the power transformer. Now, let's see how many Compa base and repeaters have Neil and I worked on over the years. Any way Neil still has the books and can determine which transformer that is. There is also some taps on the secondary to lower the B+ for about

Thanks for the info. I have a spare Time Out Timer board too, in addition to a couple Squelch Gate cards, so I should have the cards I need for this. Extra cooling is definetly part of the plan too. The only other thing is, do you have any suggestions on the easiest way to get the receiver
