We have had a Henry 5-10 in 100 plus out in service on a UHF Community Repeater. Bought it fifteen years ago this last July and have had it serviced twice in fifteen years..NOT BAD IN MY OPINION. And best of all Ted Henry is only a phone call or E-Mail away to help with questions.

We have had a 25W in, 100W out UHF Henry amp on a busy community repeater for the last 10 years and have had no problems. This is on a high-density site, and it also does not cause any intermod for the other users on site. Kevin, K9HX At 09:44 PM 12/19/2009, you wrote: Okay all, looking for opinions. Our club is going to purchase a 220 amplifier and a 440 amplifier for our repeaters. For 220, we're looking at either the TE Systems 2210RAN or the Henry C100B10R For UHF, it's either the TE Systems 4412RA or the Henry C100D30R. We have a Henry C300C30R in use for about 3-1/2 years now (running it at 250w output) on our 6-meter repeater and had to send it in about 13 months into its life to have the finals replaced. No problems since, though. I was pleased with Henry's response to the problem. Even though it was out of warranty, they fixed it under warranty. Though the TE systems amplifiers have more output (150w vs 100w), I have concerns about their reliability. The local D* repeater has had a lot of problems with their VHF amplifier, and it's not very clean (of course, that could be the fault of the D* repeater transmitter, too!).
