It may have been built originally for customer outside the USA - in many areas of the world the commercial band starts at 440, not 450. For a long time we had a TRE1202 factory 430-450 MHz Micor receiver on our UHF repeater. I forget the exact details but it was found at a ham swap meet by a group member on a combination business trip / vacation to Europe. For what it's worth, there'a a list of all the Micor receiver boards I know of in the article at <http://www.repeater-builder.com/rbtip/spectratac-index.html> If anyone has one that is not in the table please let me know.
