APX7000 UHF R1 and R2?
Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:26 pm
Can you buy an apx7000 that covers both 380-470 and 450-527 MHz bands? My local dealer doesn't seem to know if it's possible.

Special FCC Regulation Note:
===========================
- FCC NARROWBANDING MANDATE ASTRO RADIO
New radios CERTIFIED AFTER December 31, 2010 will not be allowed to
operate at 25 kHz spacing in certain VHF or UHF frequencies defined by
FCC Part 90. Radio models certified earlier than December 31, 2010 will
not be impacted till 2013.
NOTE: After the FCC mandate takes effect, specific frequencies in VHF and
UHF will still be allowed to operate at 25 kHz. Examples of VHF and UHF
services that are not subject to Part 90 narrowband include: Part 80 marine frequencies, Part 87 aviation frequencies, Part 95, FRS/GMRS and MURS,
Part 97 amateur frequencies, and NOAA weather channels.
The following radios are still fully capable of 25 kHz/12.5kHz operation:
* XTS 5000/2500/1500 and MT 1500 - All Configurations
* XTL 5000/2500/1500 - All Configurations
* APX 7000XE - All Configurations
* APX 6500 - All Configurations
* APX 7000 - Most configurations
* APX 7500 - Most configurations
* APX 6000 VHF / UHF Range 1
* APX 6000XE VHF / UHF Range 1
Radios impacted*:
* APX 7000 UHF Range 1 / Range 2
* APX 6000 UHF Range 2
* APX 7500 VHF / UHF Range 2 Mid Power
* APX 7500 UHF Range 1 / UHF Range 2 Mid Power
* APX 7500 7/800 / UHF Range 1 High Power
* APX 6000XE UHF Range 2
* APX 4000 7/800
* APX 4000 UHF Range 1
* APX 2000/4000 VHF
* APX 2000/4000 UHF Range 2
*Radios that were submitted to FCC (as of 7/1/11). Unless the radios are
exempt from FCC regulation, the CPS will not allow programming these radios
for 25 KHz operation in specific frequency ranges.
Also this field can only be changed with Depot (it's a read-only field in regular CPS) and the ACMA option was only added in R08mr.syntrx wrote:Radios with an Australian codeplug (where Regional Governance field under Radio Information is "ACMA") will do 25KHz channels, and will allow you to program up to 472MHz in UHF1.
What is interesting is that if you try to transmit using AES crypto on these freq's the radio will show "illegal key" DES-OFB works fine....mr.syntrx wrote:Radios with an Australian codeplug (where Regional Governance field under Radio Information is "ACMA") will do 25KHz channels, and will allow you to program up to 472MHz in UHF1.
