Motorola r1225 repeater PA
Q: is a 40 watt r1225 (M44.....) radio basically the same as a 10 watt r1225 (M04.....) but with a different PA ? If so, is it possible/advisable to have the M04... upgraded by my local shop using an HLE3013a ? Thanks for your feedback. John.
Re: Motorola r1225 repeater PA
Just for fun, I had in the past installed the 40-watt P.A. onto a low-power chassis and it successfully turned it into a 40-watt unit. I didn't try going into the alignment screens to see if I could make adjustments, but it worked fine as it was.jscholtens wrote:Q: is a 40 watt r1225 (M44.....) radio basically the same as a 10 watt r1225 (M04.....) but with a different PA ?

Right. All you have to do is the replacement section in the RSS for the power amplifier. That sets the drive levels for the correct power output across the band.

I swapped in a GM300 PA as the 1225 units kept burning out. Never touched the programming at all and still has 40 watts tx after 5 years.
