[Repeater-Builder] Re: motorola moxys
As others have mentioned, the Moxy was the bottom of the barrel Motorola radio. They came out about thirty years ago to compete with the rice boxes that were showing up in commercial service. They may be OK for playing garage repeater or maybe even some linking, but I don't think I would allow them at any of my commercial sites. 73, Al, K9SI Yahoo!

Neil - WA6KLA Compared to the Mastr II, the MVP is missing: - 2 poles of IF filtering (8 vs. 10). IF board is the same though, so adding it back in is fairly easy. - 1 4.7 uF capacitor on pin 13 of the squelch IC (put it back your MVP has fast squelch like a Mastr II mobile). That's it AFAIK.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: motorola moxys
Working from memory here... The Motorola Moxy was a low tier/cost version of a Maxar radio. The Motrek was a low tier/cost version of a Mitrek. We used to joke at the shop that someone at the factory would start removing parts from a real radio... when the radio quit working they'd put the last part back in and ship-it. Nothing wrong with the radios, they are just very bare bones. The only radios we really hated to work on were the Motrar and the trunking micors... cheers, skipp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The Moxy was one of the cheapest Motorola radios ever made. Surely you can trade them for a Micor. Joe M. kb9qbt wrote: To the group, This is my first post but have been a member for a while. I managed to get a hold of couple of motorola moxys uhf I think. Is it possiable to convert them to 440 and using both set them up as a repeater. I know I would need some type of controller, this my first venture into repeater setup so my question to the group. Is this a worthwhile endeavor or will I be spinning my wheels? Thanks in advance for your help. Dan kb9qbt Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
