You read that right.....I cobbled together some old junk and turned it into a repeater. And it works. An old, DOS based Kenwood TK-860 for a transmit radio, a TK-880 with a COR modification for a receiver radio, and all the Allstar goodies in between. I'll throw this on a tower in the back yard when I get a tower put up, hopefully soon. I'd probably not bring this to a "good" site, and if I did get one I'd build a better one for this pair. But honestly, it sounds decent, the 860 has a HUGE heatsink for a mobile so I'm gonna put it through its paces for a bit. It'll cover town and then some once all said and done....shes ugly but effective. Ham radio haw haw

Now to get some new VARA FM antennas up in a few spots. Got some tower climbing coming soon and get some of this stuff back to its normal operating awesomeness.....
