XTS2500 "S" split... How low will it go?

[emsbuff3240]

If I buy an S split 2500... How low will it go into the ham band, I tried searching but I could not come up with anything.

Thanks in advance.

Expect about 441-442'ish.. I've had a high split 2500 and 5000 down to about 442, and a low split 2500 and 5000 TX'ing up at around 479 with no problems..

I've also had a low split 2500 that would not Tx at 479 as another identical radio next to it would, so It all depends. Play a little trial and errror..

cool... thanks, the ASTRO ham repeater I want to use should work then.

Was there any hacking to get them to go down there or did the radio just take it?

thanks.

You have to hex edit the CPS limits in the "patport" file. Do a search here on the board.. You'll find what you need.
