You might consider talking to the sponsors of this mailing list, of course... Repeater Builder, the company. Scott and Kevin make a fine repeater from both Micor and MASTR II mobiles that would easily fit in your space, probably. It'd probably be below your budgeted price for the radios, and would perform as good as anything "modern" on the market. You could also take a "dip" into the RB knowledge base online and do a conversion/re-tune yourself -- the RB the Company guys might even have parts they would sell you that are known tested/working -- saving you some hassles in going up the learning curve of "what to look for" from the likes of eBay, etc... -- Nate Duehr, WY0X [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
