The short answer, Grady, is no. The Maratrac uses the same oscillator
for transmit and receive. To make a one-box repeater like with a Micor
or MastrII, you have to be able to separate the TX and RX so that both
work at the same time. Just can't be done with a Maratrac.
That being said, the
I have a VHF Moto Maratrac and was thinking about using it for a mobile
repeater since it is programable. Can I change the relayed SO-239 to a regular
SO-239 for recieve and add another SO-239 in the side for Transmit and it work

Are you programming this out of band? If so, the RSS may not have set
points available. You can manipulate the power with the POT on the
board (I think it is BLUE colored with white dial) just before the PA.
Then you can fine tune the power in the PA with the all white

It's been a while since I've done this Lowell but check the SERVICE menu for an
output power adjustment. I think it's F2 from the RSS main menu. I used to turn
down my Maratracs alot to increase duty cycle so I know it's there.

repeater. I manage to program the unit to HAM Bands. but I can't turn

It's in the Service menu. You need the radio attached
to the RIB and computer. Run RSS, press F2, then F2
again for Alignment menu. Then choose Transmit Output
Power.
With a wattmeter and dummy load attached, press F6 to
cause the radio to transmit. Use the UP/DN arrow keys
to fine-tune the power
