The repeater is home brew with 25
Watts output.
Controller: CAT 250.
Antenna: Diamond
F23.
Duplexers: Wacom WP-641.

To power the repeater, I use a 40 watt BP Solar panel with two deep
cycle batteries.
The charger controller for the
solar power is a Xantrex C12.
I also add the W4RRY
Battery Booster 23A. It provides a constant 13.8 volts.
Even when the batteries are as low as 10 volts.
