[Motorola] MSR 2000

Sun, 3 Mar 2002 17:07:26 -0800

The MSR-2000 is a MITREK in base station form. Not a Micor.

The exciter is slightly different layout and so is the receiver. The power
amplifier is intermittent duty ONLY!  Motorola did not make a continuous
duty UHF MSR-2000. The Mitrek radio tunes fine to the 440 band. You will to
turn down the power to about 40-50 watts and WILL need a fan on it too!

They work great as long as you watch the power output.

| The MSR or "Micor Slightly Repackaged" UHF repeaters will do OK in the 440
| ham band provided you have the correct chan elements. From about 444.300
and
| down on the Rx side they seem to loose their hearing however you can
recover
| it using the preamp. The Tx side will do well if you stay in the upper
| portion of the band. Word of caution: The MSR UHF only had a intermittant
| duty RF PA deck and if you plan to use it as continous duty reduce the Po
to
| around 40-50 watts max and use the fan kit. Motorola did classify these as
| cont duty however only under reduced power output.

| Good luck
