I have a UHF Maggiore that has played well for years
on a very high site, but I think that I have been
lucky in regards to it's performance. I don't see
much interstage shielding and wonder what would happen
if I was at an "RF crowded" site. There's not much
happening, RF wise, at the site that I am presently on
so it has performed well for me.
My main concern mentioned in my last email was
maintenance issues. I do my own repairs, so that is
not an issue for me. If I had a failure and did not
do repairs, I would be limited to only one repair
location (Maggiore factory). Most 2-way shops would
probably not want to work on the Maggiore, or would
want to charge time & parts. This can get very
expensive and time consuming, causing the repair price
to go up and downtime to be very long. Sticking to
Kenwood, Yaesu, Motorola, or another common 2-way
product would give you more choices for repair and
faster turn-around time.
