Yes. The -1 on the FCC ID tells you it is 450-470 split, and it will only be a standard reprogram, and tweak of the VCO and rx front end to get it down into the 440's. I did walk a -1 down into 420-430, but performance was pretty bad. Also walked a -4 (400-430) up, and it barely made it <450 rx and <445 tx, again, power out was low and rx was poor. But that's what to look for on a Kenwood commercial rig. The -n on the FCC ID tells you what split.
