You are a cruel one sir. I was excitedly hammering up an email to you off-list
to talk about it some more. But I had to think about your programming pin
question as these are crystals. *DOH* Then you corrected yourself. *BLOOP*
Email deleted.
Strike one for me....

Ooooops I was thinking SP50. Sorry you can keep that beauty! :-)
Anybody got an sp50 or gp300 VHF with at least 4 channel capability.
Want to get the guy on 2 meters. I have nothing in VHF.
Thanx

Got a friend in a convalescent home, studying for his ticket
now. That would be perfect for him.
Let me know.
P50+ programming pins on side if I remember correctly ?

Landfill - For sure! (If they're not working) These have the
UHF frequency still adhered to the battery panel, so I have very strong reason
to beleive these are UHF and not VHF hiding in a UHF case. Doesnt appear to be
tampered with or pry marks indicating it was opened before. (Thank goodness).
I really hope I dont have to PAY anyone to take these off my hands in the
future!
I just noticed I *STILL* have my Tall Radius P50+ with a
numeric touchpad still sitting on my shelf I thought I got rid of MONTHS ago.
Its come back to haunt me!! (Anyone want it?) :)

well, the second '4' means UHF, so yes, unless someone put
a VHF radio
in a UHF case...

<scratches head> Isn't a P50 the cheapy xtal radio from the
early 90's?
Maybe 4-channel tops? If so, the 'tall' vs. 'short' was
carrier squelch
vs. PL/DPL. So yes, that means converting a CSQ radio to PL
means
changing the case...
And no, these are NOT narrowbnad compatible, so they have
no value in
Part 90. And they were pretty cheap, flimsy radios, hard to
work on,
easy to break, I wouldn't take one for free...
Land fill...
