Thank you! I put a motorcycle Spectra into a "go box" as a portable station and turned it down to 10W. I wasn't able to verify prior to use that 10W was a Motorola-specified power level or not. Looks like my guess was good. Thank you for answering the other question I hadn't asked yet -- what the part number was for the motorcycle supplement! Do you have a "master" part number for the Spectra manual that should cover most of the radios? (By now it should be a -O part.) -- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR Disinformation Analyst
