Q 403-437
R 438-482
S 470-520
U 806-870
W 896-941

The band split on the UHF Jedi's is R=403 to 470MHz, S= 450 to 512MHz.

just had a look at the MTSX section of batlab and changing band limit involves hex editing RSS. will a 470-520 mtx838 be able to receive 403-437 without hardware modification? or am i asking too much? :P

It won't go that far out - and if it did, its performance would be crap anyway.

Low split 838's are abundant anyway.
