It's model name was RP3A if I am not mistaken, made originally for the MVP mobile to turn it into a repeater. It was built to replace the factory cg board. It has no remote control or cw functions. Just repeat audio control and carrier control. It used a comm spec TS32 for encode and decode.

I personally do not like LMR cable in repeater installations. We had a lot of trouble at work with LMR cable being used in duplexed service. Inside the cabinet, this may not be an issue where the cable only carries the receive or only the transmit signal. The problem seems to arise when you

That's an interesting device for a computer but I wonder why anyone would go to all that trouble (except for fun of course) when you can easily cool a Mastr II continuous duty PA with the same number of fans and it'll run cool and comfortable forever. For the price you'd pay for that water
