Re: 220mhz Repeater Amp. Looks like some previous problems have come full circle?
Anyway... I have a few of the TPL Brand Amplifiers in use and they like most others... walk and talk all day, every day. I've built the Hamtronics 35 watt repeater amp and it's been working just peachy since about 1987. Group Member Gregory just ordered and received a mid range power TE Repeater Amplifier and it's well built. Even though their customer service hasn't been "spot on", their products seem to be pretty darn good over all. If you can get them to respond as one would hope I myself wouldn't have a problem trying to buy and use a straight-forward model of most TE Brand Amplifiers. Another thought is to simply use a mobile MFJ or RF Concepts type amplifier for the task. A number of people simply blow constant air over them and/or bolt more metal to the heat sink (and use forced air). If you want to use power selection you can leave the TR Relay in place. Some people also bypass the rf relay to place their amplifiers in circuit all the time. As a funny sidebar... I've been to repeater sites where you can hear the TR relays clicking in and out based on RF sensed energy coming back down the line from the duplexer. So more than a few people are using mobile amplifiers in the repeater operations. cheers, s. > "Adam C.
