Hi Gang, I have two 2M repeaters made out of Micor Mobil's running 30W each. They both use Sinclair Q202G0-N Hybrid Ring [the model number you're looking for] with absolutely no desense. They are the bomb, but thay are a little bit of work to tune, the only problem with using the Q202G is that the plunger hits the bottom of the can at about 144.700 megahertz.
