When an engine starts to loose compression, do you replace the rings on the failing cylinder or do you replace them all when you have the engine off line. same principle.

I have a newer one that uses HT 200 boards and looks like a Mocom 30 or a Business Dispatcher. This one looks like it uses a Twin-V or T-power 10" mobile case. My Mocom-30 looking one made me think they had just used Mocom 30 case parts, but no, they did not interchange. I think these originally used wide spaced frequencies and separate antennas for the repeater, and no duplexer. I did see a low band one in a lookout tower once, that had a bunch of those giant low band cavities that look like welding gas tanks.

Yes, it is a Lookout repeater. The HT200 version would be a lot newer. This one has a 110V AC PS and a separate 12V DC supply. It is in a 10 inch mobile case. No duplexer but it has 2 Tuning Pipes like the Sensicon receiver. You have to use separate antennas.
