Kerry, If you decide to go with the PAC-RT, let me know. I have a VHF unit right now in my shack - it's on 154.920, IIRC.
We can "talk". :-) 73 de Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of kdf9511 I think you may be right. I did a bunch more research on this last night and after looking into the fact that I want to also build a irlp/echolnk node this my be the best way to go. Looks like something like a Motorola PAC-PL/PAC-RT is what I need. I want to find something a bit newer though that doesn't take crystals. Kerry KE5OFO
