If I might make a suggestion, you may want to consider a Motorola
Mitrek. A friend of mine built the NC7J DX Cluster Node several years ago.
http://nc7j.qrq.com/site_description.htm When he did, he asked me what
radio would be good for this job. I suggested a Mitrek. We originally
looked for one that was the lower government split so it could be easily
tuned for 421 MHz. Those proved hard to come by so I tried tuning a
standard 450 - 470 MHz split radio. I was stunned by how well it worked,
without any noticeable degradation in TX or RX. The conversion to 9600 baud
packet was a snap too. This was around 7 years ago and the radio has
performed flawlessly. Also, you can pick up a Mitrek for 10 or 20 bucks at
a swap meet.
