Low Band Repeater

[mmckenna]

Has anyone got one that goes to 54 Mhz 6 Meter ??

Not that I've heard, but I'm sure it's been done. A lot of the guys at Kenwood are hams, and I'm sure one of them massaged the firmware to allow it.

I suppose the California Highway Patrol is the primary customer for this model since they have channels from 39 up to the 45 MHz range I believe.

Kenwood/EFJ specifically built it for California Highway Patrol. If CHP hadn't bought it, the low band deck would have been killed off. Luckily CHP bought a few thousand of them.

I only see this Midland (possibly more than one available) when you filter out the manuals and other unrelated stuff. I'm also ignoring the CDM750, which I doubt can be considered, and the one from the UK that is "presumed non-working". I don't know what all the other stuff is doing there. eBay sucks.

I apologize for that. I was ready to take a snooze and I did a quick Ebay search and thought the results would have been better than that. I didn't take time to read through it all. Normally I don't look at low band gear but I recall seeing a fair amount from time to time. Maybe most of it has been sold off and replaced.

1500 bucks for a old lowband Micor station? I can buy them at a hamfest for 50 bucks or less

I remember talking with the low band repeater guys at IWCE 3 or 4 shows ago but can't remember their company name. I emailed my IWCE contact to see if they had old booth vendor lists but since Stacey moved out of running IWCE it's been a bit hectic with Informa.
