My suggestion is to get a different radio with the 88 split. Otherwise
you've got a lot of work ahead.

Can anyone enlighten me as to the difference between the G5
and G9 version of the 40 watt PA?.
If I remember right, one capacitor is changed, and one is either added or
deleted. I have GE's mod sheet that tells you how to convert a 40 watt
406-420 to a 420-450. Email direct if you want a
My biggest concern is
about the Power Amp.
I meant to comment on this - the power amp is the least of your worries.
The exciter and receiver is where you'll likely have bigger problems. Here
again, it's probably easier to find 450-470 boards and swap them out.
I have moved several GE Mastr II 40 watt units up from the 417 mHz area to the
440 mHz area as repeaters. The exciter tunes up OK to the higher frequency,
but the receiver front end and LO multiplier will not tune. I use LOW side
injection for the LO string and modify the helical resonators
