Douglas, Your range information is a bit off target. The 'R' range typically operate in the 403-470Mhz range while the 'S' range radios typically operate in the 450-520Mhz range. These radios do not take well to any sort of "retuning" as you put it but the 'S' range radios can usually be easily programmed into the 440Mhz range without much effort. Read all the info on both the RB website and the Batlabs website to learn more. Oh, and the 'R' range radios are readily available but they're more popular for obvious reasons. These radios are part of a family commonly known as Jedi (Motorola's production 'pet name', all models have one) which includes the MT2000's, MTS2000's, JT1000's, and MTX8000's and 9000's. There are slight differences between all and they don't all share the same software but they do share the same accessories and are built on the same platform. Needless to say there's a lot yet to learn about them. Gary

On the Repeater-Builder's information webpage that talks about how to decipher the model number example: H01SDC9AA3BN The forth digit/letter defines the working spectrum example "S" for the range 470-520mhz, "R" 438-482mhz, etc. I am talking obviously about the UHF model HT-1000 "Jedi" series radio here. My question is,are there model "R" out there and secondly, how easy or difficult to retune the "S" model if the range is outside the Amateur Radio arena? Many thanks guys. ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links
