Re: [Repeater-Builder] motorola moxys
The Moxy,Maxar,and Maxar80 are all the same chassis only with minor differences from each other. The Motorola Flexar desktop repeater was made out of the transmitter side of the Maxar chassis and the receiver was the receiver side of the maxar. Each chassis was mounted in different boxes for isolation. I ran one of these on the GMRS band for nearly 20yrs before lightning took it out. Slap a controller of your choice between two of them and a decent duplexer and go to town! Mike n9wzx --- Neil McKie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Good point !! Neil Tim S. wrote: Go for it.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] motorola moxys
In my opinion, the Moxy will not enough shielding for repeater use ... nor will the PA deck have have enough heat sink for adequate cooling.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] motorola moxys
The stock squelch circuit in a Moxy is terrible for repeater use. These units would not be a good choice for repeater service. There are many other surplus comercial rigs out there that would be a much better choice.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] motorola moxys
Hi Dan I would have to agree with Tim. I'm using a Maxar 80 which is very similar to the moxy for the receiver on our clubs 440 repeater. The main disadvantage to these radio they have no shielding because the cases are plastic, so this can sometime stray RF floating around inside the rack to cause problems. Getting the COS from the RX is tricky. I had to pull a line from the squelch circuit and sometime it provided unpredictable results. But as Tim go for it and have fun.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] motorola moxys
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.
