[Motorola] Speaking of Vintage Radios

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

A great radio, in its time. It did produce some predictable spurs due to 
the mixing scheme. In the Charleston area there are a number of Metrums 
around. The radio came in two power levels, 10W and 25W and had a number of 
options. IIRC the stock radio was 6 channels and expandable to 12. Each 
channel was capable of a standard offset o zero for simplex and -600 KHz 
for repeater operation. There was an optional offset board that allowed two 
other offsets for each channel. I helped design and build a four channel 
scanner module for the Metrum. The Metrum was a Motorola modified Triton 
VHF marine radio placed in a bronze colored housing.

What configuration do you want the Metrum in?
