Doug, Although the K2 repeater is the obvious choice for covering the entire 2m band, the K1 version will probably tune down okay. Unless you have the TKR-750 Service Manual in hand, you may not realize that there are front-end coils that must be tuned to optimize the repeater performance. Once tuned per the manual, the TKR-750 will meet its specifications.
There are several Kenwood dealers on the Repeater-Builder list who will gladly work out a deal for you. However, if you plan to purchase a new TKR-750 repeater, do not let yourself be talked into anything but the low-split repeater! 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of n3dab Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 3:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood TKR-750 rptr. Can the type 1 TKR-750 Rptr. (146-174) be programmed and work on 144.570 Rx and 145.170 Tx (or even down to 143 to work on the MARS freq's.) if they are found to be NTIA compliant. Or should I really be looking for the the Type 2 rptr. (136-150)for this purpose. Also can anyone name a source or 2 for Kenwood rptrs that would give a discount price to Ham Clubs,ARES, etc. Thanks Doug N3DAB
