Wait-what? I've taken a BUNCH of TKR-820's down to the 440-450 segment with NO problems at all. Going below 440 is tough, but they make a 406-430 split for that! If your 820 doesn't work in that segment, it is likely defective, or not really a 450-470 split (-1). Look at the FCC ID. It should end with -1. If it ends with a different number, it is for another split. -4 is the 406-430 split I mentioned. -2 and -3 are of no value in the ham bands (above 470). -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
