I will have  1 UHF vertex repeater that we are rotating out   that is a work horse.. No  duplexer included  but its a 5000 series that works wonderful  COntact  me if interested kc9gqr@mtco.com  Will be really reasonable  we are doing an upgrade to digital so i will most likely have some VHF  vertex machines available also.. along with a couple URI's by end of year.

What new or surplus radios work well with Allstar/Asterisk/DMK-URIx? I want to set up a least cost repeater so I can learn more. TIA?____________

moto gm300s.  all the signals show up on the 16 pin connector on the back at the right levels, and there is beaucoup info about them on repeater-builder.com

and you'll need a duplexer.  and URI.

you can get useable gm300s for 50-75 each.

You can do it cheaper, but why reinvent the wheel?

You shall get a bunch of opinions here but it does depends on how
inexpensive is inexpensive to you.

 Here is my opinion if you have 450 to spend,
Use hamtronics rx and exciter... learn and reuse in actual repeater.
They hold their value better than some other new equipment if you can
believe that. The rx's are very sensitive .12mv/12db sinad.

I use both the old rock bound units and the newer tunable synthesized
units and they both work great. Buy them wired and tested and they come
tuned for your freq. Easy to repair.

The rock bound units are no longer sold.
Sometimes a good deal found on ebay. But you better know what you are
buying. They make these in the commercial freq splits also.

ebay has a large selection of motorola gm300's and maxtrac/ameritrac but
you will need to be able to program them and sensitivity is .20 - .34mv
unless you break-out tech manual to re-align specific. And again you
need to know what you are buying here also. Not all work in amateur
areas. Could be the best cheap option if you can get them programed.

We personally have retired the GM300 and Maxtrac radios from repeater use
due to the fact most of the radios have had lots of use.. Those radios have
gone through heavy use over the past 12 to 13 years and are no longer in
production.. Some times it becomes difficult to find those particular
radios as well.. Now as far as the Technical details on the 16 pin adaptor
I have found CM200 and CM300 with 16 pin adaptor and pin 8 programmed for
csq/tone etc.. seems to work fine for both of our repeaters.. UHF repeaters
are more simpler to set up than VHF repeaters reason is in UHF you can
probably depending on where your tower site is located get away with a
mobile duplexer cheap there usually around 130 dollars or so.. In VHF it is
a 600khz spread and problems of loop back issues can occur very easily
especially with cables duplexers many other things if incorrectly
installed.. We have gone through 2 different manufactures now for duplexers
and still have had issues with the transmitter getting into the receiver
our personal next step is to double check the tuning of our used Sinclair 6
cavity duplexer and possibly putting a Bandpass filter for our RX side just
to see if that might help with the duplexers installed as well..  Good luck
on the installation and enjoy! I use DMK Engineering URI with 16 pin
adepter from uricables.com Repeater adapter with CM200s..
