Eric, Manual 6881200C75 was updated in manual revision FMR-1686-1 to show the splits we've all come to know as 403-470 and 450-520 beginning with radio version B. The 'S' split radios usually take nicely to the 70cm band in my experience using the SHIFT key method in fact, I have two here working this way right now. Subsequent versions of that manual as well as 6881200C40 show the actual splits by model family. 73, Gary N6LRV

While it is possible to hack the RSS so that you can get the radio to accept 70 cm frequencies, it is quite another thing for the radio to function in the Amateur band with acceptable power and sensitivity, and without burning up the final. Moreover, there is nothing to "tune" inside the radio; there are significant differences within the radios for each band. Perhaps your best course of action is to sell your radio to someone who needs the "S" split, and buy an "R" split radio. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Douglas Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 8:49 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: [Repeater-Builder] HT-1000 I have a question, maybe two on the Motorola HT-1000 portable radio. 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 ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links
