Barely-the important thing is that, on the one you use for transmit, KEEP THE POWER DOWN to abt 10-12 W!!!! And at that you should put a fan on the heatsink. You'd be better off finding something like a Mitrek or Micor or Mastr II turnk-mount mobile, or best, a real station (MSR-2000 is roughly equivalent to a Mitrek mobile), and making a repeater out of it. They are easy to duplex and interface to a tone panel. Also they have much better receivers for high profile sites. Besides, those radios are too nice to tie up on a fixed frequency repeater. I use a 705D and an 805D in the car, and it sure is nice to have the field programmability. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL Yahoo!
