FYI, A buddy installed a G6 on his repeater here locally atop a 5,000 ft + Mountain. They went back up about 30 days later and could not believe what condition it was in. I kept hearing stories over the radio about how it looked like it had been up there years. When they took it down, and

Jim, To answer your question and not to start a war, all these guys (Ken, Bob, Ed, Alan/Steve - Controller owners know who I mean) make a great product. I have several of their units and have thoroughly been very happy over the years. No one controller maker can make everyone happy, it's just

ANY Ham grade antenna should never be installed in a commercial environment. They are cheap for a reason. Go with a Decibel Products, Celwave, ASP or, Scala. The problem you get into with used antennas is that they are usually 450-460, 460-470 or, 450-470 The 450-460 will normally work down

Jim, Don't waste your time effort on the G6/440. Get a Hustler Spirit series antenna and be done with it. It's great and you don't have to worry about weather problems. Keith --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, jimmyrtle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are considering replacing a damaged

The majority of my controllers are ACC products. I own an RC-850, 2 RC-85s, 2 ITC-32s, one of those with the 'Digitalker' board. Long dead, but can't get the guy that bought the rights to release the source code or even license it. I did want to get the supposed v6 update that was rumored

Funny you should mention that. I had several G6 and G7s for two meters and 220 from the 1980s that played well. Recently, friends bought a couple of G7-144's and they were nothing but trouble. They would not tune up properly. Joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Geez, I must have the only good G6
