[Motorola] Research Line for amateur use

Wed, 20 Mar 2002 19:35:13 -0600

I still use a Motrac style repeater on my VHF repeater.  It has been up 
almost 20 years with only minor trouble.  I have a Micor waiting to 
replace it, but it still works. 

I had a problem with garbage out of the exciter and a dried up
electrolytic 
in the audio squelch circuit of the receiver.  Other problems are just
very 
minor.   .

It uses an all tube exciter, driver, and  8560 output tube and I have
only 
replaced the final one time after I got it working.   Very solid and
reliable.  

I have a spare that I got for a backup if anyone is interested.  The
first one 
never broke, the Micor is waiting.
