Look at www.reepater-builder.com ... go to the Motorola page, then
the Spectra page.
Look at the "ranges" section. The low range is 136-162MHz, the high range
is 146-174MHz. Either will work well as a 2m mobile, but the low
range is preferred.
What is the ACTUAL model number AND the ID number off the label?
>Are these radios good radios,
They are top-of-the-line previous generation public safety grade.
Motorola no longer provides depot service for them so most agencies
are selling them off. The "time bomb" capacitor problem didn't help.
>and will they work for a 2 meter repeater?
Not as the repeater transmitter itself. Look at the size of the heat sink.
It's the old mobile-in-a-continuous-duty-environment problem.
