Not really an expert on that unit! General rule of thumb: when you have an existing exciter, the power amp (final) input is usually around 1/4 W (250mW) or higher. Most GE junk is 1/2 watt in. you cant go wrong with trying 250mw. If it's not enough just put the "bird" (wattmeter) on the final and jack it to spec. Also if you could tell me how many actual boards, and the # of final xstrs not part # , just how many are in there i can prob give you a better answer on what minimun i would push it with! SORRY i can't help you much more than that! Been in the "biz" a lot of years and when we aer'nt sure we just start smalll and go from there. zero chance of burnin somethin up! Again this is what i would do based on not having available specs. Sorry i can't be more specific for you!!!!!!!! Sincerely, Kevin

To: Repeater-Builder@ yahoogroups. com Date: Friday, June 18, 2010, 7:14 PM Picked up a nice micor UHF repeater today. The pa is a tle4173. It appears to be driven by a 75w tle-1713. I cannot find anything on google about the tle4173. What do I have? Thanks! Tom W9SRV
