If a controller has the features that are required, then it really doesn't matter if it's a half watt the size of a cigar box OR a 110 watt GE MASTRII, or a KW what ever. I own and use three NHRC2 controllers. I bought the first, after the QST article ran in February 1996 (1996 I think). With

As a controller designer I can recommend the following: For a single stand alone repeater: NHRC-2 This controller is an excelent value featuring real voice storage. For a repeater with a link port: NHRC-4 No voice, CW only. But it will run a remote base or link radio and is cheap so who cares?
