Build a real repeater like a Micor or a MASTR II with a PA rated for 100% duty cycle 24/7, for the same price as the GM300's and it'll be done right to start with. Nate WY0X
[Repeater-Builder] RE:1 5/8 Heliax plus transmitter question
Due to the number of replies, I am sending this here . It is gone, thanks for the interest. We have what seems to be a real good site for an Amateur Repeater, 190 feet up the tower and 1 5/8 all the way to the antenna. So far it looks like we will have a first class station. For now we are using two GM300s, I hope to find a 100% duty cycle transmitter eventually, what do you guys think I should keep my eyes open for. It has to be fairly economical as we did spend a bit on everything else. Or, if we keep a nice fan on the GM300, will it be acceptable? I guess that only time will tell. Thanks again.

John - You should reduce the Power out to about half and keep the fan on the heatsink of the transmit radio. Search the archives, a lot on info on the GM300s there.
