I agree, radios used in the PS band must be type accepted for that service. All must be narrowbanded as well. 73 Robert _____

I bought these radios to replace 2ea City of Needville HT transceivers, which uses 461.875 for receive and 466.875 for transmit. Digital coded squelch is 162. Radios as shipped to me came with VHF transmit 144-148, receive 136-174. UHF transmit was 420-450 MHz. Receive is 420-520 MHz. Serial number of the radios are: M03CT7608 AND M03CT7610. I am able to program the radios to any of the frequencies as listed above, but I was told that the transmit frequency would need to be unlocked if I needed to use the 466.875 transmit with DCS162. For programming the radio through the computer, I have both Wouxun and Chirp software programs installed. The only problem I have is unable to get the unlock function to take effect, so the proper transmit frequency can be programmed without getting an "out of band" message. I have sent a prior email to a Wouxun distributor on Ebay, and he fails to give me an answer for the unlocking. However, I have the Wouxun unlock screen that shows up on my computer, and can set band limits but I can't get it to actually unlock the radio. I wonder if someone could shed some light on the subject.. _______________________________________________ BVARC mailing list [email protected] http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org -- Bruce Paige, KK5DO AMSAT Director Contests and Awards ARRL Awards Field Checker (WAS, 5BWAS, VUCC), VE Houston AMSAT Net - Wed 0100z on Echolink - Conference *AMSAT* Also live streaming MP3 at http://www.amsatnet.com Podcast at http://www.amsatnet.com/podcast.xml or iTunes Latest satellite news on the ARRL Audio News http://www.arrl.org AMSAT on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/amsat
