In a duplex situation, you need as a minimum RG-214/U (must be the real stuff with silver plating). This would be used from transmitter and receiver to duplexer. From the duplexer to the antenna would depend on distance. 7/8 hardline preferred, 1/2 hardline acceptable. 73 Glenn WB4UIV At

Hi Jerry, I believe it is a CWID-51B. We have the ID chip programmed, but are having a problem figuring out the terminal strip assignments on the back. If we can get that information, it will help out greatly, but if we need to repair the unit later, the service manual will be of great importance.

I built one up and while it worked OK with an external preamp, the crystal drift over temp was always a problem even with a wide temp range crystal and to keep the heat in check, I reduced the power to 10 watts. It worked about 95% with the problem above on dead cold and over 105 temp days.
