They make excelent repeaters or remote recievers the only weak part is the power
supply you will probably have to lower the output and keep a fan on the power
supply or you could run the amp off an external supply I love them exec's I am
running a mobile exec II right now on my two meter repeater. I wouldn't mind
picking up a couple more base stations myself.

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?
Speaking of 9600 baud packet, has anyone put these rigs on 9600? I have a 25w
GE Custom MVP mobile rig that easily went to 9600 baud packet and has become
the workhorse of my TCPIP station..... Without in depth comparison it would
appear as if the MVP and MASTR-Exec II are identical inside except for the
power supply and channel board for extra crystals. Ideas?
