  1. Don't overlook the used market as many Motorola GR1225 UHF repeaters can be purchased inexpensively through a radio shop or on the auction services. Basically a plug-and-play system and many units are already equipped with built-in duplexers. This is a small form factor repeater that can be placed in the shack very easily. Some models will produce up to 40 watts output. Search diligently and you may find a fairly good used unit from $500-$900 range. The only down side is that I would not co-locate this unit in a harsh RF environment. It would not handle the RF unless it was being utilized through a combiner or through a BP/BR duplexer. Its popular uses was to provide comms for shopping malls, hospital security, etc. My GMRS system utilizes a GR1225 (set at 20 watts) and a mid-priced quality commercial antenna with Andrew Heliax feedline (LDF-50A) 1/2" running up a tower at 75' and performs fairly well.
