The command board does most everything except the rf in a spectra, they should be easy to come by a used command board, but you would have to have some special (cough, cough, LAB) software to get it to work unless you find an exact match for the band and control head type you have.

Is the command board freq specific? ie would a 403-433 one work? thanks for the quick reply! Steve

Steve, I checked out the spectra section on the batlabs site, I did not see the part number for the boards listed, but I believe they are the same. I know you have to make sure that the mlm firmware version you install needs to support the features you want to have. There is some info on the Batlabs site about that and how to use lab also.

The Command board is not frequency specific, but the MLM that plugs into the Command board IS.

Sounds like the MLM is also missing.

I wasn't aware the MLM is freq specific. The data can be overwritten just like the command board or am I wrong?

The data can be overwritten but the version may be different causing problems. Spectras are not allways up to being overwritten. YMMV tho!

Got UHF R2 VCO?
