Thanks for the input. I have the software and will read it out in a day or two. It has both fans and is definitely VHF. I belonged to a local FD. Originally it was used as a base station. Later it was reprogrammed as a repeater. Lightening got the motorola tone remote card and the city decided to upgrade to a two site uhf nexedge kenwood system. The repeater then fell into my lap in exchange for a set of duplexers, the town pd had a mtr-2000 as well and we want to put it on 2m as well. Looks like that may not happen. I may be looking to trade for a kenwood tkr-750/751. Thanks again. I will read out soon. Maybe I will get lucky and it will be the 136-154 split. 73

Norm, Assuming that your radio is VHF (what were the existing operating frequencies?); the VHF radio comes in two bandsplits in the high power VHF station. There is no way to change one bandsplit to the other. I was involved with a project where incorrect frequencies were entered by someone doing an order resulting in a range 1 receiver and a range two transmitter. The radio ended up being sent back to the factory and replaced by an entirely new unit to correct the problem. The best way to proceed at this point is to have someone with the proper RSS read the radio and give you a printout of the existing codeplug.
