Okay, but I'll not agree that everyone is 'either' one flavour or the other. I say this as I am (finally) rebuilding my 145.27 machine the way I want it. The repeater is a Motorola Micor Non Unified Chassis. The transmitter is built from an old IMTS paging station that originally fed 10 watts into the tube PA. I sold the Motorola tube PA to make room for the rest of the goodies. The receiver shelf was added and the control system stripped as I usually do containing only a modified Station Control Card. In addition to the exciter, 10 watt PA, receiver, and control shelf, there also resides a RC-96, DVR, and FC-900 stack. The original power supply was replaced with TPN1110B so the backup 110 watt PA could be driven under battery power. I say 'backup' PA because the main PA is a GE 4EF5A1, 330 watt station power amplifier from the Mastr Pro/II era. The GE tube PA resides in its own (GE) cabinet along with a front facing exposed metering panel and internal rack mounted Mastr II style IMTS power meter/alarm. In this station, GE and Motorola are married to give (IMHO) the best operation from one of the most powerful 2 meter repeaters on the east coast. Both are simply a joy to service. <http://www.shol.com/kuggie/ahra/hmft.html> Kevin Custer Yahoo!
