There are some part numbers on the Test Set page at www.repeater-builder.com
But you will probably find it easier and cheaper to buy a Micor
station test set
(the one made to mount inside a Micor station cabinet) and rewire it to do
Micors and Mitreks.
The male connector that is used on Motrac / Motran / Mocom / Mitrek
test cables is based on a mil-spec hermetically sealed relay base with
one pin cut off (i.e. the Motrac design team used an existing relay
socket as a metering cable socket and had the manufacturer fill in one
pin). I built my first cable by purchasing a surplus relay with the proper
base, then cutting off one pin, then using a pipe cutter on the top of the
can, gutting the case, soldering the conductors from a piece of the bulk
test set cable to the connector pins, and then filling the housing with a
50% / 50% mix of RTV and hot melt glue. It lasted for years until I found
a "real" cable, and I passed my home-made one on to a friend, still working
fine.
For what it's worth, the real connector is a 01-80754A26 assembly of the
base, housing, and cable clamp, and will run you just under $20

Hi all
Looking to procure the 12 pin male connector used for the meter
socket for Mitreks
My test box (Moto R1033A) uses an assembly labeled RTK 4042APR which
consists of a 37pin connector, cable and 12 pin male connector. No
part # is listed for the 12 Pin Male. All I need is the 12 Pin
mitrek connector but beggars etc.
Also could use the 5 Pin male connector used for Micors.
I need to make a test box for my son N7XVF in Montana.

You're trying to move a 406-420 range station up into the 440-MHz
range - quite a jump and often a challenge to move without serious
modifications. You really want to find a 450-470 MHz range unit, to
move down to the 440-450 range - it should tune right up.
Save the 406-420 MHz station for a 420-430 MHz linking transceiver,
or trade it to someone for a 450-470 range unit, since they are
nearly always available. The 406-420 ones are hard to find when you
need one for a link...

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Micor Station Exciter
Hi Folks,
Have a problem with a Micor Station tonight. Have a Micor that was on
409.600T / 407.275R . It was working great on those freq.s before
pulling the elements and sending them off to ICS. New elements (old
ones were stolen in route!) with 444.600T / 449.600R in and ready to
go. Receiver tuned fine. (slugs out awful far) Transmitter is a
little harder. I have gotten all the way down to the exciter output.
(step 11 and 12) No go. Not sure if it is just too far down or what.
The board is TLD5491A3. Is there any changes or mods need to be done
to make it happen on 444.600mhz?
Thanks,
Robert
ps Will be using a RC210 on this...any suggestions there would be
appreciated :-)
