Look at www.reepater-builder.com ... go to the Motorola page, then the Spectra page. Look at the "ranges" section. The low range is 136-162MHz, the high range is 146-174MHz. Either will work well as a 2m mobile, but the low range is preferred. What is the ACTUAL model number AND the ID number off the label? >Are these radios good radios, They are top-of-the-line previous generation public safety grade. Motorola no longer provides depot service for them so most agencies are selling them off. The "time bomb" capacitor problem didn't help. >and will they work for a 2 meter repeater? Not as the repeater transmitter itself. Look at the size of the heat sink. It's the old mobile-in-a-continuous-duty-environment problem. Mike WA6ILQ Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
