Derek - I'll see if I can help with your first question -
While I'm not that familiar with the CXB series, the older analog (CLB) MSF repeaters weren't recommended for any PL tone above 192.8 hz. The cut off frequency for the low pass filter on the PL circuit was around 200 hz, so if you programmed a PL frequency above 200 hz they will work but will take a very long time to decode. Sounds like this is your problem.
