That odd Motorola and Maxon as well as many other sell repeater that are mobile radio is a housing. This is a very common thing and as long as the radio is type accepted then its fine. I have been in the LMR business for years and see lots of repeater that are 2 mobile in a box. I don't prefer this setup and would use a real repeater normally.
