On a popular auction site I saw an offering for an 800MHz XTS-3000 ( H09UCH9PW7BN ) which says that it is a " 700 / 800 MHz " radio.
Is this possible ? If so, I'd better take a closer look at mine before selling it.

Only does the 800meg side of the band.
The Astro25 portables (ala xts5000) will do the 700/800 band.

Thanks. That confirms what I thought.
The XTS-2500 and 5000 have the 700/800 bands.

Is anyone even USING the 700 band yet?

Sure! You'll still find NTSC and DTV Television signals there until 2009...Elroy Jetson wrote:Is anyone even USING the 700 band yet?

State of Idaho has a couple of test sites up. They are headed for a 700 state wide system.

Re: Is 800MHz XTS3000 a 700/800 radio ????
Sure, as mentioned, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, and other spots...some are commercial trunking (Texas) leasing spectrum from a few of the band holders. It can be used in spots where TV broadcasters are not occupying the band. Oh...Las Vegas too on their wiz bang OpenSky system (in testing/under constructon).
Look for use in the band growing where they can put it.

Harris County/STARNET (Texas) is rolling it out right now. They have 4 or 5 sites up.Elroy Jetson wrote:Is anyone even USING the 700 band yet?
Louisiana's statewide LATIE system uses it too. In fact, most -if not all- of metro New Orleans public safety is now on 700/800.
