yes. It's pretty common to use those for repeaters.

@BorrisInABox yeah, I actually have a CDR500 on my floor which has them in it, so am trying to decide how easily it could be moved down into the ham bands

I can't do it myself (Motorola windows software is completely screen reader and accessible) but I know several people who have used those for analog and digital UHF nodes. That goes for the 750, 1250 and 1550. A friend has a CDM-1550 putting out exciter power to get Allstarlink to his repeater, where there is no internet access. The radio is picked up by a dedicated receiver connected to the controller. Not the best way to do it, but it sounds pretty good.
