VETCOMMS Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Thanks for all the helpful advice I've gotten from you all on this forum. I have yet another question. I liked the idea of the old gr1225 repeater with it's self contained notch duplexer for family comms Is there a comparable repeater of similar power output that does not require having to find old Windows operating system and finding the old programming software? I see the Retevis model but like the quality/power output/reliability of the moto gr1225. It would be nice to be able to program using Windows 10 or 11 in a user friendly way.

gortex2 Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 So just as reference the GR1225 does not have a self contained duplexer. Yes it can be mounted inside the case but its not always there. Many makes of repeaters have a location to install the duplexer inside but many used ones don't have it. As reference the motorola quantar will program fine with Windows 10 and is a rock solid repeater. I still have a windows XP computer I use for my GR1225 repeaters I still have on the air. You can pick them up for $25 on the used market all day long. As said in the other post look at the midland or Retivas if you want a basic home repeater. The GR1225 on high power wont last. I run all my 45 watt units at 25 watts to make them last. VETCOMMS, WRHS218 and SteveC7010 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
