[NLRS] MN repeaters where NRLS hangs out

[Donn]

Hi Mike.

The 2nd question is easy... there IS no place for microwave 
and test equipment.

Yes, ABC Electronics has "some" test equipment, but it tends 
to be ... ahhh... not terribly useful and GROSSLY 
over-priced.  (I've seen them look something up in the 
Tucker catalog, then knock 10% off their (Tucker's) price. 
When it was pointed out that the Tucker price was for a 
refurbushed, calibrated, and guaranteed unit while the ABC 
unit -existed-, the answer was "so don't buy it.")  They do 
have a lot of parts, I have to hand them that.

Another downside is that they are located 3-4 blocks from 
the Twins stadium.  If there's a game anytime that day, 
parking will cost you two arms and a leg IF you can find a 
parking space.

Axe-man has three locations: University Ave in St. Paul, 
Fridley, and St. Louis Park.  While a lot of stuf is the 
same, there are differences between stores.  The St. Paul 
store is "hard to get to" due to University being torn up 
for the light rail boondoggle --uh, construction.  My 
opinion; St. Louis Park is the next best, depending on where 
you'll be in the Cities and how much time you have.  Fridely 
is perhaps the easist to get to... due north of Minneapolis, 
a mile or so north of I-694 along Central (MN65).

I don't use repeaters much... someone else maybe able to 
help here.  Usually, NLRS-ers are on 146.46 simplex.
