OK, I know you can take an 800MHz Maxtrac and turn it into a 902MHz receiver for a repeater. But, can you take an 800MHz GTX and do the same with it? If so, is it any easier to modify than the Maxtrac to do that?
Thanks,

800 GTX mobile to 902 receive ??

Somehow I doubt it. I have the 900 MHz service manual and there's nothing inside to tweak or adjust. The single main circuit board has major components on both sides, they're 99.9% surface mount quite tiny (compared to a MaxTrac), and the radio is basically purpose-built. There's no plug-in EPROM like with MaxTracs. The control panel has more intelligence on it than a MaxTrac
The 900 MHz radio I have receives down to about 918 MHz, but that's a far cry from 902 unfortunately. I "gave in" and am using a converted MaxTrac for my repeater receiver. With just one filter replaced and the other shorted out, the unit has fantastic sensitivity.
