You can use an S or SX for the transmitter, but the receiver definitely needs to be the S. The helicals in the S make the difference. I think the S has about 2-3 MHz of bandwidth on receive, while the SX has close to 20 MHz. I have also used GE Phoenix S UHF radios for a repeater as well.

Sure it's easy to do, you can get Disc. Audio to run the decode right off the backplane and transmit can be input thru the backplane also to the PL input of the exciter. You should have both manuals for the station so you can find all the points. You need the RF manual and the Control manual.
