There's very little difference between the Maxar, Moxy, and Maxar 80, and I have taken several mid-split (151 - 162) Maxars and Moxy's to 2 meters with no modification at all. I've used 'em for voice and packet.
I did have one that I couldn't get to tune up below 145 TX without padding the PA, however. The parts list is a good reference for how much, and where, to add padding caps if needed. If it's a high split, don't bother... you can pick up a mid-split on E-Bay for $15 or less. (ALWAYS ask for the stamped chassis number or current crystal frequency before bidding!)
