We use Kenwood TKR for 2m and 70cm repeaters (2 ea), both drive TPL amps, 250
watt on 2m and 100 on 70cm. Been up for years, not one hick-up. You don't get
the great rich audio from the old Kendicoms but good quality communications
audio.
ARCOM, Inc does commercial work as well as amateur. Ken can assist you with
purchase and configuration, etc.
Best of Luck,

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] opinions for a public safety repeater
Hey guys,
Need some input here. I'm putting together a public safety repeater for my
local FD. It's going to be really simple. Given the relyability factor,
we're going with a kenwood. Here's the million dollar question, i need some
input. How about a kenwood tkr750 or a tkr740. I've run several 750s with
great results. I have not played with the 740, but i know it has an amazing
receiver, but yet only pushes a few watts. Any suggestions for a good amp,
perhaps cresend i think it is.
Thanks,
Jed
