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.

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.
