I took the refurbished Micor out to the water tower.
It appears the power amp in the MSR-2000 is bad.
I pulled it out to see about getting it repaired.
I had to steal the interface board and BNC adapters from the 440 machine so
it is offline.
I hooked up the Micor and checked power and SWR.
Power out about 60W with low SWR.
I have no idea how well the receiver works or if the audio deviation is
correct.
There is alot of work that needs to be done out there.
Mostly grounding everything and getting necessary gear for battery backup.
Tom, forward this to the membership and website.

I see the repeater is working.  Can someone tell me if it is a temporary or
permanent fix?
Is there still any problems we might experience?
