That's my point. I don't want to use a radio made 15 years ago - I want to use a current model (A CDM for example). These radios will not go out of band whatsoever and the SW cannot be modified (that anyone's found so far) to go out of band. If you're saying otherwise, I have a HT750 file I'll

From what I have been able to gather is that getting a CDM out of band would have to be done by a firmware/software hack in the radio .. not the CPS. If anyone is up to that, I would love to know. James MCH wrote: That's my point. I don't want to use a radio made 15 years ago - I want to

Brent, more models of Motorola mobiles will go into some amateur band than those that will not. More importantly though are the limits you might need to place on such an investment for example, newer models will generally cost more to acquire but they often offer more features and/or capabilities

I'll take a few XTSs or XTLs for a couple hundred bucks each - or even $600 each. But that aside, why is a P25 radio the only one you should be able to get to do 440-476? Even so, P25 is a small percentage of Motorola's entire line. Another point: If the radio has a bandwidth of 62 MHz, why
