Actually I was joking. It was recently removed from service I think they
are going to destroy it. The Spectrum, as expected, has so many problems it
isn't a good idea to try to put it back in service.

I was told they were a cheap unit, depends if you want it to just take care
of repeaters, but for service work, avoid it. That is how it was put to me.

Hello All,
The Maxtrac book shows 5 PPM and the GMRS is 2 PPM
so may be not. What is the difference between a Radius and a Maxtrac? Is the
Radius tighter on spec.'s on some models? There are some models of Radius
that are FCC Certified for GMRS under part 95. But not all models.
73, Russ.

Russ may be right in this case.
(OH, MY GOD what a concept!)
Since only GMRS, R/C control and CB are covered under part 95, maybe GE never thought it big enough of a market to spend a whole lot of money to get their equipment certified for it.

One exception might be the Maxtrac radios. Motorola churned out hundreds of
those repeaters built from two Maxtrac radios and a RICK controller. I am
pretty sure they were using those on
GMRS. also the Motorola Desktrac radio was essentially 2 Maxtrac radios
inside. I would bet that it was
Although, I seem to remember Skip's Model 80 did just fine tuning
up the
receiver in my Hammerlund Outercom xcvr back in the 70's. Or
was that the

anyway.
Just learned about IF's last week.

I would stay away from that coax as well. Copper braid = duplex noise,

When you are looking for a manual, you need to pay serious
attention to the serial number of your instrument.

I think you got a better deal! The last CE-5 when for $152.50. Oh
well. Rule 1: stop looking after you buy or you'll just make
yourself crazy!
Fedex (ground) says my CE-5 should be here tomorrow... I doubt I'll
need a manual unless I need to fix the thing. It's pretty obvious
isn't it?
My CE-5 has one problem though - one always haunts its owners -
the lamps behind the frequency display - two in my unit need
replacement.
I have done that before (last time was 30? years ago) wasn't fun
either.
