MTX9250 on 907-919 ham split?

[N4KVE]

Hello. I have been using a MTX9250 here in S. FLA with great success on 900 ham freq's. Everything down here seems to be on 902-927 mhz split. However if I was to travel to an area where the 907-919 mhz split was used would the radio physically be capable of working there with 907-919 freq's programmed in the radio? Anyone tried this?

Nobody has used a 9250 on the 907-919 split? GARY N4KVE

That *should* work... I mean think about it. If you are using it on 902 OK and 927 OK, why wouldn't freqs in the middle of those two be OK?

I'm asking because the factory operating splits on 900 are TX 896-901, so 902 TX is only 1 meg above that. The factory RX is 935-941, & 927 is 8 megs below that. Talkaround doesn't work on all radios on 927. However 907 is 6 more megs above factory TX, & 919 is 16 megs below factory RX. Further away from factory operating perameters. Remember on UHF, the radio operates in the whole band. 403-470 mhz, & 450-520 mhz with no blank areas. On 900 the radio isn't designed, or guaranteed to work between 902-935 as that isn't a FCC business freq. This is basically why the 902-927 split was utilized, as the commercial radios would work there. They didn't work on 907-919. But it seems the newer radios have wider coverage, so I was wondering if the 9250 would work on 907-919. GARY N4KVE
