I wouldn't be too worried about it. An awful lot of Motorola's will do OK with 180 shift, especially higher-tier radios. But then there's some that are just weird. I have a Maxar-80 on GMRS. It doesn't like the Com-Spec TP-3200 tone panel. It also doesn't like the P-100 handheld on talkaround. But it does like the GE MPA and Phoenix-SX I have. Go figure. The Micor repeaters with a factory reed decoder however, seem to be pretty liberal on what they respond to. Just about any radio with RB will be at least partially muted. The TK-805D has a really short delay on the STE drop out, so the decoder doesn't get a chance to fully spin down before the transmitter goes away. But just about any other radio worked OK. I'd leave it, frankly.
