HT600 Model number decypher

[GeoffinOz]

Hi Guys,

Looking at what appears to be some HT600 radios.

Model number AKH44SVU7120BN

This SEEMS to suggest that it's the same as the Jedi stuff with the exception of the AK prefix, ie
from the H on... this suggests they are 450-512Mhz radios...
Can someone confirm this as I can't seem to find the particular AK prefix anywhere.

TIA

H44SVU7120BN:

UHF four watt HT600 2 channel PL or DPL programmable B, second revision with NiCad battery.

It could be one of four frequency ranges, 403-433, 438-470, 470-500, 488-520. The first two are the most prevalent.

Probably an export version with such a prefix. Have seen Canadian radios starting AC. This series of radios does not carry the bandsplit anywhere in the model # only decipherable info is what Will has supplied above. Radio needs to be read or examined internally for specific split. Also antenna coding color 'could' be clue but not definitive. SVU on these is only telling you it's a HT600.

I believe H43 is VHF, and H44 is UHF... Not that it narrows down the exact split, but I think that will at least split up apples from oranges..

One other way to deode the band split, is to open the radio, remove the shield and look at the synthesizer module at the bottom, there should be a printed frequency range on the module, usually in red.

Many radios are recased over the years, and you may have one, so it's best to open the radio and look for the range printed on the synthesizer to be certain.

That's my take on the subject anyhow!
