I've not been inside one but I was told that the M-123 and
the GM300 are a Maxtracs with new outer skins and different
software. Maxtrac exciters are weak - less than 80mw if I
remember correctly. I've seen 2w Maxtracs in surplus, in
fact a couple sold on eBay a while back for around $50.
You might be able to find a manual for the 2w radio and see
how the designers did it, then copy the changes.
Modifying a Maxtrac-family radio for low power out might
make a good article for repeater-builder.
