Club is looking to add a 6m radio to our VHF/UHF linked repeater system. The 6m radio will run simplex, so many issues avoided there. I am looking for suggestions on a 100W 6m radio that we would run at 40-50 watts. Next is the antenna which would see plenty of snow/ice in the winter. The antenna will be tower mounted and no worries on mounting, coax, linking, etc. Just looking for a solid radio and antenna, new or used, to handle low repeater traffic. I don't think I want to futz with a Kenwood TK series to get it to work on 6 meters.
We have the cash, but don't really want to throw money at the project. We are hams, so we need to feign cheap to maintain our amateur status.
