Greetings...
This is Gary, W7NTF, in Spanaway, WA. I recently acquired several GE Mastr-
Exec II VHF base stations, both of which are currently in the 140 mhz range.
They are very clean, handsome rigs, with mic, power supply built in, etc, and
have multi-channel capability. Measured power out is about 30W on a dummy
load. My question is this:
Is anyone using this type of rig for repeater operation? If so, what problems
did you encounter? I'm wondering if it's worth trying to build repeaters out
of them, or should I bag that idea and maybe think about using them for ham-
simplex voice use, or maybe even consider converting them to 9600 baud packet
for use on the local TCPIP repeater in the Seattle area? What do you think?
I can't help you with the packet questions... but I've done a lot of the
repeater conversions. Perfect radio for a conversion.
Check out my site on how to convert an Exec II desk top into a repeater:
Have fun.
