Concerning MSF5000 repeater

[Ronsales]

Just got off the phone with the Motorola shop and talking to fcc central

Motorola x74cxb-7106at repeater compliant with GMRS analog use only rules.

Yep, that's the standard old MSF. I run a MTR2000 (newer generation of the MSF) and it is awesome. Turned it down to 50 watts and it will run 100% duty cycle with no fans (probably at 100 watts too!)

Moto guy ran the numbers from the size of the pa he thinks 110 to 125 and yes it should do 75 with no problem if I can find the

right duplexer for it.

No I have no hard feelings about post being pulled just asked the wrong question the wrong way

was looking for any ideas of a shop nearby that could help me.

Repeater-Builder should have some info on the MSF line.

JUNK

If I see the guy I bought this from at fest again he will be wearing it because it is a converted base station with

screwed up programming and it isn't worth the time and money I am gonna have to spend to make it work. 

The synth wont hook up and the TTL has been disabled from the programming JUNK PIECE OF XXXX (staff edit for unacceptable language)

worthless to anyone but a Motorola tech who has hours of time on his hands and a pocket full of money

to blow.

PA is good (if they are like the Micor then they will require 1-2W to drive). Station conversions aren't bad, I've got a few of them but mine are on the Micor platform though. Has a ARS pre-amp (those are worth a little money, seeing great benefits when using preamps on TDMA repeaters). There are some good parts in there that are certainly worth saving.
