Yes you will need to retune the TX vco voltage to lock it on frequency, and retune the front end filter, and vco, anfd you'll be good to go. The only thing I would recommend would be to wire in an external controller, and program the repeater to carrier squelch. So if the external controller fails, you can swtich to a carrier squelch repeater. As far as performance goes, I have 5 of them in service as portable emergency ham repeaters for our ARES/RACES group. They work great. We built them into a 6 space SKG rack case, and all we do is grab and go. If you have any more questions, shoot me an email. I also have pictures of the wiring I used for the external controller. We use the Zetron model 37 max controllers, and work great.

I have the hacked software to program out of band for the Motorola R100
but wondered if there would be any retuneing to be done once I move it
to 444-449 area of the band .
Just would like to know if any one has done this and how well the
repeater preforms ?
Thanks
