Hi Matt,
Re: Icom IC RP1520 repeater receiver needed
I had such a horrible time trying to get parts for
an Icom 220MHz Repeater Receiver Repair that I
retrofitted a Synthesized Hamtronics right into the
Icom Chassis/box.
Much to my delight... the replacement Hamtronics
Receiver worked Killer (excellent) and I put the box
back in service for a number of years until the
Transmitter VCO died (became to unstable to trust).
Now that the Icom Repeater is pretty much a non working
cabinet I pulled the Hamtronics Receiver from the Icom
Repeater Chassis, bought the matching Hamtronics Transmitter
strip and made the pair into a repeater. Last May I created
a folder in the Group Photos Section to provide some pictures.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Repeater-Builder/photos/album/0/list
"224 MHz Home Brew Repeater Project" the first folder in
the Group Photos Section.
The "Homebrew 224MHz Repeater Project worked out so well... I
have since built six of the little buggers, three four our
system needs and three at the request of others.
So the retrofit Hamtronics Receiver is an option you might
consider.
cheers,
skipp
