Optimization of a simulcast system is critical to its proper operation. Not every local Motorola shop has the equipment or experience to perform this activity. I have installed many simulcast systems over the years and it always boiled down to incorrect system optimization (excluding

Anyone have, or know of, a surplus of 1/2 line? I've been scouring the surplus places, eBay, etc., but haven't found any decent deals. I can use pieces or reels anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand feet. RFS, Andrew, et. al., anything but Commscope. Thanks in advance.

Yes, but you'll probably find them most often in Micor PURC (paging) stations. Components of interest include the high-stability and ultra-high-stability oscillators, simulcast control card, audio delay unit (usually made by Allen Avionics), etc. By no means a state-of-the-art system, but they

I think notorious is an extreme exaggeration. I have eight MTR2000 repeaters in service, and they have been trouble-free. Moreover, I have never heard of such problems from other MTR2000 owners. Some early units had problems with a bad batch of a particular transistor, but that was corrected
