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.
