Hey Joe
Im running the same thing a Converted Mitrek on 52.71/53.71
with a hardline Duplexer. ( off air at moment due to loosing duplexer in the
house fire. setup worked great. Other machine is a MastrII 3000 watt repeater
with Full size Commercial Duplexers.. Both are easy Conversions that work well.
