Makes me feel like I did something!

I have a number of Hamtronics strips that I've turned into repeaters and voting receivers since around 1989. I built many of them and put them into RF-tight boxes with feedthrough caps. If anything went wrong, Jerry, the owner is usually a phone call away. His personal support adds value for me. The instructions are very clear and well communicated.
While the 6 meter RX strips are great, I had a great deal of distortion on the 6 meter TX strip. I made it better by injecting CTCSS into a varactor, but the audio had to be kept low to reduce distortion. I would not recommend the 6 meter transmitter, but everything else is fine.
I use 440 and 6 meter strips in a standby version of my repeater. They are built into RF-tight boxes and mounted to a chassis plate with wiring harnesses. They work nicely and there are many options for control, including interface into various controllers. I have also used type-accepted units for public safety use.

The UHF REP-200T has been on for 13 months with no problems. The out put power is still 10 watts into a antenna with an SWR of 1.5:1, you have to push your PTT for a secound before talking, doesnt bother me.
