This has been explained a few times before - Motorola ordered tags from a sub-contractor, and they mixed up the actual model numbers with the ID numbers for a few different series of radios - just transpose the ID number with the model number and you'll have the number you need - At 10:58 PM 6

Kris, I have several Spectra motorcycle radios, as well as the motorcycle supplement 6880103W01. Both my visual inspection and reference to the manuals confirms that the M33 motorcycle radios contain the same PA as the regular 10-25 watt radios, except that it is "adjusted to 15 watts output." Ra

Hi Bill, I'm quite curious as to what you ran into when you attempted this. I have one working, and as far as the number of steps taken to make it operable on 902, it was pretty simple. The only thing I left out in my short list was bringing COR out. Did I miss something, or did I just get luc
