Echolink Node radio suggestion

Hey guys,

Just wanted to check in and see if I could get suggestions for which radio I should use for an echolink node (simplex).

My boss is allowing me to place an antenna on top of our building (~40-50ft) and I’ve decided that I’d like to create an echolink node.

Ideally, I’d like to spend <$150 ($200 absolute max) on a radio to drive the thing. I have a yaesu 3100R in the car that I really, really like but I’m not sure it would be up to the task transmitting constantly for 2-3 hours at a time during nets.

I’m also open to adding fans to the case, etc to help it out during high activity.

What rig would you guys pick up?
