(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!!
