800Mhz Micor

Post by candrist »

I just acquired 2 micor radios. One is 800mhz-866Mhz 35-50w trunked according to:

http://www.repeater-builder.com/micor/p ... umbers.gif

Model # T45RTA6B00AA

I am wondering if it is possible to convert these to a 900Mhz amateur repeater? or if one will convert to a transmit or a receive? so that I can just acquire the other.

Regards,

I've seen 900 MHz SpectraTac receivers that should bolt righ in, but I've never been able to get my hands on one nor have I found any evidence that documentation even exists for them so I can't say how they're different from what you have. There are tales of conversions having been done, but again there seem to be no docs. I'm interested in this information too, should anyone out there have any to share.

Jeff,

I found some information at: http://www.qsl.net/kb9mwr/projects/900mhz/plan.html

Here is the information that I found at the bottom of the page.

I am pretty tech savy, but this means nothing to me.
