Martin, Definitely go for the MTR2000. I assume that the unit is the high-power model, identified with fans on each side. It operates on 28 VDC, but can be set for 50 watts output. If it does not have fans, it is probably a 40 watt station that operates on 14 VDC. The primary reason I recommen

Go with the MTR2000. Let's assume that the MTR is a 100 watt radio. I have been runing a MTR at 50% power for the last several years. No problems at all. WIth the duplexer loss and running at half power, you will have less than 50 watts which will work fine in your command post setting. Se

Yes, it's easy to do. I have one 440. You don't need 110v, 12v works just fine. Check out this site. http://www.nhrc.net/nhrc-4mvp/ Fred N4GER -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of texasexpediter Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2007

Leo: Look around for a used Motorola GR300 repeater. They have a footprint of about one square foot and about 14" high and are quite reliable. I have a couple of them running in the 70 cm ham band. They usually come with a 120 VSAC power supply, but they run off of 13.8 VDC, so you can bypass t
