Probably worth a try. But, I wouldn’t have much hope. The MXT275 appears to be based on a completely different OEM product and, as of yet anyway, nobody seems to have identified it.

Sadly; It is still narrow band +/- 2.5 kHz in the repeater modes. The FCC ID can be searched for the GRANT and the modulation will be indicated. Anything less than 16K0F3E is narrow band.

Nothing at all. It's an old, unofficial concept. There was a nationwide group of owners that started something called the Open Repeater Initiative. They decided among themselves that 141.3 would be the universal tone for repeaters that were open to travelers, for safety and general communications needs. The idea was, you could put your radio on repeater pair 462/467.675 (rCh 20), set the tone of 141.3 and just drive wherever you needed to. If there was an OPI repeater near by, you could use it. Over time, OPI died off as a group, but many owners still honor the travel tone concept. Though, on all channels. Not just the original pair.

I used to work with a guy who had no less than 8 mobiles in his personal vehicle. He had pulled the passenger side seat so that he could install a homemade "console" that also held his Laptop and 3 radios, along with his converta-com amp. He also carried at least 3 portables with him most days. I remember asking him one time how many radios he could talk on at once. I also remember that AAA cancelled his membership because he requested too many jump starts. Some people can take anything too far.
