Hi Peter,

 

The TK-760 radios are great radios; however, I would post them on EBay and
get a few Motorola SM-50 radios. All the connections are on the back on the
Motorola and on the Kenwood, you will need to modify the radios to get TOR
(PL) out of it and know where exactly to pick it off. If you get the
Motorola radios try to get the high power radios and they will play nice at
20wt. Not in Continuous duty mode. Now if you drill out the 4 screw holes on
the bottom and mill the bottom of the radio so then you can add a nice heat
sink to it. Then they will operate in continuous mode but no more than 20wt.

 

The first version was to mount a small fan on the bottom but ended up using
the heat sink method and found it much more reliable.

 

I have had more than 30+ full duplex links made out of these radios and have
never had a unit fail. Take your time and plan your project and it will pay
off if you do it the right way.

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Repeater question

 

I have a few of the TK-760's that I have been playing with the idea of
thinking of using as a repeater, can this be done? And if so what would it
take?

 

Thanks
