Helps if I would include the actual frequencies instead of just xxx for place markers!!! Bottom of the repeater band through about 224.300-. The phenomenon is centered on 224.000- Scott - Original Message - From: "Duane Brantley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 1

Duane and all, If you plan on converting a Mastr II to 220, realize that there is a Segment of frequencies that WILL NOT WORK full duplex in the same radio set. This is a VERY similar situation to the UHF Mastr II's. On a UHF Mastr II it is a well known and documented fact that there are certain

Hi all As a software and hardware engineer of 20 years and a ham also for over 20 years I would recommend an ICS controller. And, if Kevin had the time to install the new Single M controller in a Micor that he asked for you will see a Single M repeater controller mounted internally in a Micor

As an engineer I recomend you go with a ready made 222MHz solution such as those made by Kevin and Scott at Repeater-Builder.com. It is a good choice if you do not have all the test equipment and skill to make one of these run where they shouldn't. http://www.repeater-builder.com/ge/mastrII220co

You should one need one master II. But it will have to modify for full duplex so do this as well as tuning it up completely on a vhf freq first before starting the mods so that you know you are working with a good unit. I have been a bench tech for years and that mod it not for someone that is n
