Batboard

Hey y'all this is my first post on this forums. I have a Motorola XTS5000 that was upgraded from a model i to a model iii with fpp, and am using it for Ham/work use. I was programming one of the zones for scan frequencies and found that it would let me program the frequency 154.46375, is there a block that prevents that frequency? Any info would be appreciated as I wasn't able to find any info by "googling it".

154.46375 is not a valid channel boundary. In that portion of the vhf-hi band the channel boundaries are on 7.5Khz boundaries and that area of the vhf-hi band is a transition between two of the portions of vhf-hi band. 154.4525 is the last channel boundary in that portion and 154.490 is the first channel boundary in the next portion. There is a buffer area between the two where there are no channels allowed.

And as was mentioned by Elroy over on RadioReference, That frequency isn't going to go in the radio at all. Plus it is a data channel...

I probably found this info on this or some web site long ago and saved it but i am almost sure
the firmware in any two way radio will not allow programming of these frequencies.

There are four 154 MHz telemetry channels at:154.45625,154.46375,154.47125 and 154.47875

These frequencies are on 3.75kHz steps, which is half the regular 7.5kHz
