Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Noise on UHF - (Mototrbo)
Ah, this is definitely good news then. I was not aware that Motorola was still committed to updates for the MTR2000, as they have the MOTOTRBO systems (albeit, as has been mentioned elsewhere here, is nothing more than a digital CDR500).

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Noise on UHF - (Mototrbo)
I can confirm 100% that that is true and should be available late this year. Much better receiver and transmitter an all around repeater. Dlr cost is about $1300 for an upgrade and you can retro fit the old units to work as well. Oh ya.
