Eric and all, The GR500 is only a wall mounted housing, power supply, and fan. The RF package inside the housing can be a pair of Maxtracs, a pair of GM300's, a pair of CDM750's (in which case the box is called a CDR750), or it could be a R1225(very rare). The GR300 is a desktop housing and a power supply. The GR400 is a rack mount housing. In each case the RF package is a pair of low tier mobiles with a basic controller (R*I*C*K). The only exception is the R1225 package which is a full duplex radio based on GM300 boards which includes a basic controller.
There are a lot more questions to be asked to determine if this is a good deal. I would not use a GR series repeater for amateur type service, but as always YMMV.
