Re: [Repeater-Builder] Maxtrac conversion to 220?
YES A 220 MHZ CONVERTED MAXTRAC WOULD BE NICE. IF THE INFO IS AROUND PLEASE SEND ME A COPY. ALSO AS ON BATLABS I BELIEVE THE 99 CHANNEL MAXTRAC WAS LOWBAND IT HAD A LARGER MEMORY PROM TO HOLD THE PROGRAMMING DATA FOR 99 CHANNELS AND THE SOFTWARE WAS A SPECIAL VERSION THE ONLY CUSTOMER WAS A CANADIAN POWER COMPANY. BUT WAS THE MARATRAC 99 CHANNEL RADIO AN OFFSHOOT OF THIS VARRIANT ? BOB KD6GNB Speed up your surfing with Juno SpeedBand. Now includes pop-up blocker!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Maxtrac conversion to 220?
Along similar lines, has anyone ever tried upgrading the Maxtrac to 99 CH? There was a special model made by Motorola to do that, but I think it was a Low Band model. The problem is that the firmware is almost impossible to find and the software (RSS) is even more difficult. Joe M.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Maxtrac conversion to 220?
What did you do to get the Receive and Exciter to go there?? I would love to use some of my more "modern" moto stuff on that band.
