Those loops as you refer to are actually inductors of a very small value.
They are in all intent a passive component. The size and shape derives the
inductance value. If you burned one out you were definately sinking some heavy

Any approximation would depend on the repeater antenna height and the terrain
of the area.
I would hate to see the price tag on an 800MHZ 450W amplifier :-)
I do mean literally approximation. Many factors come into play. Especially at
high frequencies.
The length and type of the antenna
Exactly, so like i said what type of cable are you using as line loss will
seriously effect receiver sensitivity.

I fully agree with changing the capicators(electrolytics) as they will dry out
with age, I would also get NTE replacement output transistors(TO-3) as they can
develop leakage also. A good junk box and new Nte transistors will run you a
few dollars. Surely cheaper than a new board. I also agree
I agree fully with NOT using Radio Shack low quality run-off manufacturer
