Re: AW: CFC Speeds for Repeater

[Greg House <ghunicycle@yahoo.com>]

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.
