[arm-allstar] Motorola as Node Radio

[Rick Wilson]

I have several MaxTracs setup on 445.X frequencies.  They are turned down
to 2 watts and have a 6 inch cable over to a rubber duck mounted to one of
the side holes.  The interface cable is pretty easy to make.  The interface
card is in a plastic box with a 1 ft usb cable over to the Pi.  Velcro is
your friend!  They work great.  It all depends on how comfortable you are
with them.
