Tom, Last I heard you could still order those cards directly from Pretec. Their website made them a little difficult to locate, though. I think they're listed under Industrial Cards or something like that. If they have a search facility on there, look for Hitachi Series, or just email them directly and see if they can help you. Several people on the repeater-users yahoo reported buying those cards (direct from Pretec) and they all worked great in the Repeaters.
