The MSR or "Micor Slightly Repackaged" UHF repeaters will do OK in the 440
ham band provided you have the correct chan elements. From about 444.300 and
down on the Rx side they seem to loose their hearing however you can recover
it using the preamp. The Tx side will do well if you stay in the upper
portion of the band. Word of caution: The MSR UHF only had a intermittant
duty RF PA deck and if you plan to use it as continous duty reduce the Po to
around 40-50 watts max and use the fan kit. Motorola did classify these as
cont duty however only under reduced power output.

Good luck
