Wow !! Kevin, I got two of those Spectrum repeaters sitting on the shelf.
Could I turn them into two Mastr II ? I admit, the front panel is impressive,
very pretty. The metering would be usefull also. I wanted to someday use the
front panel and put a decent Rx & Tx unit on the chassis with a

Thanks for the input Tony.
The primary reason that I'm going to try the Spectrum is It's what I
can afford now and It's something I havn't ran into before. If this

First let me start out by saying that I currently have an SCR1000 in
service on 2 meters but the Mastr II is cooking on the bench and will
replace the Spectrum as soon as I finish the box to move the CAT-1000 into.

If you had a couple UHF Mastr Pro transmitters that were dirty, I can
guarantee it was NOT tuned and/or maintained correctly.

Yup, the UHF Mastr-Pro transmitter will do that if you don't do
the maintenance on it properly.
I have worked on a few of those transmitters over the years.

I have repeaters that have been on the air over 20 years and have never
needed alignment. This goes double with duplexers - if it's still doing
its job, there is no need to tinker with it. I'm using duplexers that
are over 30 years old and have never been touched. About 15 years ago, I

That can be true, since the UHF Mastr Pro transmitter is a little picky about
it's tuning. If you are unfamilar with that transmitter or don't follow the
tuning procedure CORRECTLY, it can be a dirty transmitter. Of course, any
transmitter can have that statement said.

If you service the mastr-pro final be certain to clean the tube socket
and covers well as these areas are good for collecting dusty swarf and
can make some spurs as well as sparks inside the cage, as with any tube
gear be sure the drain resistors are working properly before inserting
