The common phrase in repeater speek is type acceptance, this means the radio family has been tested thoroughly for transmit spurious emissions and receiver selectivity. In this regard the vertex is not as good as the specs point out, having good audio is one thing - having a reciever that can hold up in a harsh rf environment is another - having a primary fuseholder is another good thing to add to the vertex - an external controller program port would be another good choice, dismantling and re-torquing all the fastners is time well spent as many things are left loose when built - they should really sell them as kits like heath or ramsey.
