Yes you can drop the power down on the M1225 radio, but it seams that the heat stays the same from most of the mobile units.
I always try to look for the LPI radios 5 watt power out and use an external power Amp.. for my mobile based repeaters. TPL makes a nice line of PA's also there is a place here in the Chicago area. http://www.crescendtech.com/products.html?parentId=15 Have a look here for a PA. I have a friend that has a VHF LTR trunking system and he uses these and has a low fail rate. Good Luck... Paul R.
