[chirp_users] Motorola GM 300 Radius and Maxtrac
Any chance we can get this radios on chirp?
The Motorola maxtrac, radius and gm 300 are the popular radios to link repeaters, link to any RoIP and create local repeaters

Just waiting for a developer to take on the project:

With a a 10% duty cycle I can hardly see any of these radios as a repeater of any kind. There is Motorola software that runs on XP but if you have a glitch while uploading the codeplug to the radio you will likely brick it. I think there is a Yahoo group for these radio and if you join you can get the software I think it's call Motorola Man. And probably get instructions to make a cable. If I remember the radio has an RJ45 connector and only two pins are used. But you better do some research if you are consider buying these radios. Just a friendly note from an old Motorola repair dude.

I'm glad to get some feedback about those GM 300's. I was considering buying them to set up a repeater ( temporary ) to use. What if you don't run those radios with full power.? I have a GE Master II that has a maximin of 100 watts out ( to a dummy load) but I only set it up to 45-50 watts to a dummy load at the site when I had it up. Wouldn't it be ok to run half or one quarter of maximin power out those Motorola's?
