You can use an S or SX for the transmitter, but the receiver definitely needs
to be
the S. The helicals in the S make the difference. I think the S has about 2-3
MHz
of bandwidth on receive, while the SX has close to 20 MHz.
I have also used GE Phoenix S UHF radios for a repeater as well. Picked up a
couple
of narrowband units a while ago for $10 each. As longs as I keep the power
down,
seems to work pretty well.
Any other questions, feel free to ask.
