[Repeater-Builder] OT: Motorola Spectra Astro VHF or UHF?

2010-04-22 Thread La Rue Communications
Hi Gang -

I have an Spectra Astro beleived to be a UHF. As you can see from the picture, 
this is a two peice unit. Radio pack and control head. I looked through the RB 
Archives, extensively but only found Astros that are one peice. (Control head 
built in) This is a former Police radio that I am trying to locate the band 
split. A Google search turned up something on RadioReference.com specifying it 
was a VHF 146-178, but that was a bit sketchy. I want to be absolutely certain 
what split that this radio covers. We thought it was a UHF 450-470 split, but 
now moreso Im stumped.

Model number is: T04KLF9PW5AN
FCC ID: AZ492FT3773

Thanks for your input, no matter how small!

Model number indicates VHF High split 150 - 178.  I t will come down  
to the amateur band just fine if you want to use it for that.
