True 900 MHz radios are common enough. I'd pass on them unless they are remote mount and you can get them for really really cheap (like one to two dollars a piece) AND if the cables are't cut. It seems that every removal monkey just cuts the cable in half and rips it out from each end. Personally, I'd love to find a cable and B5 head kit for a remote mount Spectra. I know a couple more folks that would love to convert a front mount Spectra to a remote mount. With cars getting smaller and smaller, there are probably a lot more folks out there that would like to as well. Mike WA6ILQ
