Thanks, Richard.
Earl is in Banda Aceh (epicenter of the Tsunami earthquake) and cobbled together a repeater from two separate handheld (I think) radios for now.
So he has a working system being held together with solder and electric tape. But its not long term.
As far as license, etc. goes, I'm sure Earl is on top of that in his ham guy/relief worker role.
I appreciate the help and email forwards from all SOCALWUG members in tracking down this old beast!

Good question for ham guys - I forwarded the request to all the fellows I know who might have such a thing. 160 to 174 is what we used to call "high-band" of highband radios - that's not a common segment even for commercial use. Now, that segment is military, marine weather use.
Larry remembers the MstrII's and Mocom/Micor stuff that is floating around amongst hams, that we had to modify to get 'em to work on the ham band. Call Cal Crystal to get the right rocks, too!
If it needs to be a reapeater, there are other possibilities of surplus gear...

Mike,
I agree with Larry. You might have better luck if you direct your question to a commercial two-way radio list or group.

Mike,
You may have a problem with an Amateur repeater... Amateur band is 144 - 148 MHz.

I am seeking the following HAM radio repeater for Tsunami relief work in Banda Aceh province.
"An old 160-174 mhz repeater with cavities... We have BB ht's but need small repeater."
If anyone has one of these, please let me know asap.
Thanks for your help! Mike
