The Purc 5000 makes a fine transmitter for the repeater I mated it with a Darcom receiver and at 10,000 ft I can hear it in my office 40 miles away on my portible.

Hi Dave,

If you're talking about Greens, I'm hearing it in a few places in Phoenix in my mobile! For about 3-4 miles along the 202 between the Priest exit and the 101 it comes up to DFQ in places - and a few other "spots" as well...

Is the DARCOM programmable? If so, what is the RSS version?
Air-Comm in Phoenix lists them on their website for $125
(rackmount version). Seems Like a great choice if it is programmable.
First remark I have seen from anyone using the DARCOM...

Thanks,
