Arcom RC-210 repeater controller
DB-408 antenna fed with 7/8 inch hardline at 80 feet

Details on the system:

The Maratrac will allow us to transmit an easy 50 watts without creating a lot of heat (it is a 100 watt radio). 50 watts is the most allowed by GMRS license. This particular hardware configuration has been on the air since September 2009, and we have been using other hardware on 462.600 MHz since 2003.  This is our coordination repeater for general daily use, large projects such as antenna work and coordination of HF work, and also has some family use.
