I have 1 or 2 of the Delta's left. I retuned some and then was able to program the chip in the 990 control head using the GE suitcase programmer. When you enter a freq on the suitcase programmer, you need to hit Insert instead of Enter. The Delta were really easy to retune without any modifications and output was 90-105 watts on a 110 watt radio. It seems that all the GE radios are easier to convert out of band. Dean.

In the realistic space of the original post it was hard to include more than a small number mention of the many popular low band radios. Alinco programmable radios GE Delta - Programmable GE MVP - Crystal GE Master II - Crystal GE Master Pro GE Ranger Other GE Radio Models Kenwood tk-6110 mobile and tk-190 portables, which program onto the ham bands without hardware modifications. Midland Syntech, XTR and newer series of programmable radios (an easily found programmable lb radio). One of my choice easy to do radios for ham projects. Motorola Mitrek/Motrek - Crystal Motorola Maxar/Moxy - Crystal Motorola Maratrac/Maxtrac/ Radius - Programmable Neutec - programmable Older RCA radios long out of production. Uniden radios - Crystal and Programmable Vertex/Standard - FLT-1011 and similar programmable radios. Relatively easy to find on Ebay and similar to the Motorola Maxtrac/Radius Radios in physical size. **** And this list will surely grow as others chime in... cheers, s.
