Looking for an analog Spectra codeplug

Hi gang; I'm looking for a VHF Spectra (analog) codeplug with Privacy Plus (or SmartNet, doesn't matter) trunking. I'd prefer an A4 head, but any will do. Frequency split doesn't matter much, but 136-whatever would be ideal.

If you have said codeplug, please feel free to email me direct: [email protected]. Thanks!

You might have a long wait for the codeplug your requesting.

To the best of my knowledge, there never was a VHF Spectra
trunking radio. Those only came in the 800 MHz radios.

Motorola is just now coming out with VHF trunking in their
XTL series and PM1500 series radios.

If any, it might have come in the form of a "E" series spectra that didn't use MLM. These were produced for Louisiana or one of them states down there. Something like that. Not 100%.

Well, I know for a fact that some VHF trunking analog "C" spectras were used up here in Canada years back on a municipal system. Bitbanging a non-trunking spectra would in theory give you Smartnet capability but from what I've been told, it won't actually follow a system as the codeplug doesn't know anything about base/step ranges, only an existing codeplug knows about that. Taking a UHF/800/900 codeplug won't do either, unfortunatly.

Thanks for your help though!
