Greg, You've come to the right place for information. First off, the exciter is just that- it is a very low-power (1/4 to one watt) signal source that is intended to drive any of several power amplifiers, from as low as 10 watts to more than 200 watts. It is not practical to modify the exciter; you simply add the appropriate PA to achieve the power output you want.
If your repeater is completely "stock" please advise what the Combination Number is on the data plate. This will help the list members understand what you now have. Has this repeater been modified for Amateur 2m use already, or is it now on a commercial pair and you want to modify it for 2m operation? 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Greg Niles Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2010 6:34 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Mastr II mods and parts I am new to repeater building. I have a GE Mastr II VHF repeater. Does GE make, or is there a mod to make, the exciter do 35 watts so I would not have to use a PA which I do have, just trying to make things simple? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Greg K9GJN
