Well, the MTR2000 in VHF came primarily in two flavors, 132-174 MHz 40 watt, and 150-174 MHz 100 watt. The 150-174 MHz 100 watt unit will not tune down to 2 meter ham frequencies. The easy way to tell the two apart is looking for fans on the PA and power supply. If you have fans, you have a 100 watt unit. No fans or just a fan on the power supply, you'll have a 40 watt unit. Unfortunately I can't answer to whether you will need the pre-selector for 600 kHz split. -Brian / KF4ZWZ On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 9:08 AM, NORM KNAPP <nkn...@twowayradio.net <mailto:nknapp%40twowayradio.net> > wrote: > I recently obtained a Motorola MTR-2000.
