Hi Roger! Thanks for the info.
Bit of bad news on this actually. We sold our old PA to help fund the new one. I received an Email from the guy we were going to buy from in the US who now says he has found another buyer. :( So our repeater is currently off air until we can find another. So if you hear of any around the $100 mark, please let us know.

Worth area and had no failures that I remember. We transmitted into a circulator prior to the antenna, a 5 dB omni vertical, which was over 900 feet above the ground. Best I remember, we used it near its max. power out limit, backing off a little. > > Roger W5RD > > > >From: Ken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Date: 2006/12/13 Wed AM 07:23:55 CST > >To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > >Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Mirage D1010 Amp for ATV repeaters? > > > > >Giday! > > > >Has anyone had any experience using the Mirage D1010 amps for 70cm ATV? > > > >I'm looking at getting a bigger amp for our local ATV repeater and the > >older versions of these amps seem to be fairly plentiful second hand > >in the US. > > > >I believe there are a few different versions of this amp, so I would > >be interested to hear how they vary internally and in application. > >Also how to tell the difference between them by their outside appearance. > > > >Another reason I am looking at these is that I am led to believe that > >they use the MRF646 to drive a pair of MRF648 's.
