They appear to be custom rigs. Housed in an aluminum enclosure (the same as the ID-1, less the powder coating) I have photographs of the RP4000V, RP2D, RP2V, RP2C. The same basic configuration is used. No TX components in the Rx Units. Custom boards for the application, though all quite similar. Doesn’t look at all like my ID-800, or my friends 2820. They appear to be like modified ID-1s, even the UHF unit. Perhaps after field day I can put some of these images up on the net.

You usually don't go this way and know you've used mobile duplexers. The cabling is, as you said, the problem. Do you or anyone know what rigs ICOM uses in the repeater. Looks like a pair of mobiles put in a box, big box. Wonder what mobiles. Appears they have been modified for rcv and xmt (fan removed on I think the receiver heat sink). I understand there is a different controller/CPU that puts out data and rigs are controlled with raw data with no rcvr DStar demod. I wonder what are the specs of these rigs. I bet they are one of the mod'd ICOM mobiles. 73, ron, n9ee/r Ron Wright, N9EE 727-376-6575 MICRO COMPUTER CONCEPTS Owner 146.64 repeater Tampa Bay, FL No tone, all are welcome.
