Well, using it as a rx will probably work just fine, although it seems a waste to tie up a synthesized, multi-channel radio in a repeater. As a tx, the caveats of all mobiles, especially dash-mounts, applies-it won't hack continuous duty at full output!!!!! And it may or may not be stable/clean at reduced power. And no, it cannot be duplexed, so you would need two of them to make one repeater. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
