The only issue might be getting the receiver up to the 440-450 range and maybe reduced output from the high power 110w PAs. If you can get them cheap.... they are well worth using. You can also trade them with us here in the US for mid range receivers as we use the 420 band for linking.
They will already operate narrow band without any modification. Most Government Agencies can't see that small detail when there's a chance of a new shinny radio being bought. And it's not their money being spent... cheers, s. > "Jesse Lloyd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks, > Living in BC here, we see quite a few Low Band UHF repeaters. > RCMP, Forestry, Highways, to name a few, used low band UHF > as link frequencies, so when a hub repeater went up it was > low band.
