That may be where I got it, not sure. It seems to make sense and it seems to work where I have tried it, at least no known problems using it. Maybe all this discussion on cable length will settle the issue for good. Thanks. Sid. --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Russ Hines

OK Ed, I have 2 files showing the PCB details with -26 variant info. They frequency reference is still kept totally internal. If higher stability or external reference is available, the internal is removed and a mini coax socket fitted to have a cable connected to have an input on the rear

Ed, No external fixing, all internal just like the original. The 'Parts Lists Amendment' states the alternative IC700 frequency reference is used in -16, -26, -36 for FCC I think it differs from the standard by having 4 pins, one of which is the FM pin with the voltage setting arrangement.

You can pick up programmed UHF Desktracs on ebay for ~150, programmed. Like Joe said, Desktracs are not high-duty cycle repeaters (not good for Ham Radio) , as well they are not NB capable so commercial uses are about out. I sold my two for $100 each, unprogrammed. -Brian / KF4ZWZ On Sun, Aug

Hi Ed, I have read the info again and it's a bit confusing. In the -26 variant the IC700 reference is 539-00010-55 and the standard is 539-00010-50. But there were different devices used under the 539-00010-50 number an 'old' one by NDK and a 'new' one made by Rakon. The 'new' one only uses 3
