Douglas, According to the HT1000 Service Manual, the model number H01SDC9AA3BN breaks down as follows:
H - Handheld Portable 01 - HT1000 Model S - 470-520 MHz D - 4.0 - 5.0 Watts RF Power C - Standard Controls, No Display 9 - Channel Spacing is Variable/Programmable A - Primary Operation is Conventional/Simplex A - Primary System Type is Conventional 3 - Feature Level is Limited Plus B - Version Letter is B N - Unique Model Variation is Standard Package Needless to say, your radio is not a good candidate for use at 70 cm. While it is possible to hack the RSS so that you can get the radio to accept 70 cm frequencies, it is quite another thing for the radio to function in the Amateur band with acceptable power and sensitivity, and without burning up the final. Moreover, there is nothing to "tune" inside the radio; there are significant differences within the radios for each band. Perhaps your best course of action is to sell your radio to someone who needs the "S" split, and buy an "R" split radio. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Douglas Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 8:49 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: [Repeater-Builder] HT-1000 I have a question, maybe two on the Motorola HT-1000 portable radio. On the Repeater-Builder's information webpage that talks about how to decipher the model number example: H01SDC9AA3BN The forth digit/letter defines the working spectrum example "S" for the range 470-520mhz, "R" 438-482mhz, etc. I am talking obviously about the UHF model HT-1000 "Jedi" series radio here. My question is,are there model "R" out there and secondly, how easy or difficult to retune the "S" model if the range is outside the Amateur Radio arena? Many thanks guys. ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links
