According to the FCC website, this ID # indicates that it can transmit between 403 and 512 Mhz... Does anyone know if this is true? Also, if it appears on a Motorola Spectra Mobile, and the seller doesn't know the bandwidth, is there someplace I can go to verify it's band capabilities? The model number that correlates to it is: D44ZXA5JC7AK...

Thanks,

They use that FCC ID to indicate a UHF radio. There are several distinct splits within the UHF band. Given the C7 model number, I would bet that it's a 403-430 split. Those were very popular with the US Government. There are very few UHF trunking systems in existence outside of the 403-430 range.

Say what UHF is extremely popular for LTR systems

Good point. I'll rephrase. There are very few UHF Smartnet systems (which is what the C7 Spectra being discussed plays on) outside of the 403-430 range. Most are (or were) US Government.

And that makes that radio sort of not too useful here in the US. A public safety agency above Line A could use it if it was conventional, but . . . for ham use it's pretty well useless as FM activity is mainly above 440.[/b]
