When did this list become a law list what does any of this have to do with
repeater building. I thought this list was for tech discussions. How the list
members use the tech info is their problem.

Good question! My new General Dynamics (Motorola) R2600D service monitor

No. You need the appropriate power amplifier to get the desired output. The
exciter makes less than one watt.

Hi Greg,
There is no Mod to make the exciter do 35 watts. Its nominal value is about
200 to 300 mw, but normally 250 mw. The way to get about 35 watts is to modify
the PA itself. You can bypass the final stages of the PA and just use the first
stage. There are many types and some may get you

Greg,
You've come to the right place for information. First off, the exciter is
just that- it is a very low-power (1/4 to one watt) signal source that is
intended to drive any of several power amplifiers, from as low as 10 watts
to more than 200 watts. It is not practical to modify the exciter;

There is certainly a way to do this, though VOIP, while an option, you will
have issues if there are outages. Of course, there can be outages of all
