I've been running them fairly close to rated power with nary a failure all these years (and no fan). They are very durable radios able to take more than a fair amount of abuse. I don't run the 100 watt rated (higher power level) radios in repeater service at full boogie. > Of course, there is the little matter of programming the EEPROMS in > 'em but there are folks who can do it for you.

If you get crazy with a large number of frequencies to enter... you should obtain the Midland 70-1000c dos software (free from a number of locations), make your own Eprom Module Frequency data file and provide it (the file) with your modules (by Email or 3.5 inch disk is fine). There is a Yahoo Midland Group... well worth joining. cheers, skipp skipp025 at yahoo.com > At 06:57 AM 6/18/2009, Sexy Man wrote: > > > >I have several of the 70-630B Midland radios,how would I convert > >them into a repeater? >and very easily > > Ken > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > President and CTO - Arcom Communications > Makers of repeater controllers and accessories. > http://www.arcomcontrollers.com/ > Authorized Dealers for Kenwood and Telewave and > we offer complete repeater packages! > AH6LE/R - IRLP Node 3000 > http://www.irlp.net > "We don't just make 'em.
