I haven't got any codeplugs that do more than 10 channels. But I will let you know if one shows up.

I have converted 3 Spectra's to the ham band, full TX, and RX from 920-928.

also on the model number that is listed for the radio, it should be a 128 mode but is now only a 56 mode. not that i need 128 channels but if i try to change it to 128 mode will it corrupt the radio :roll:

May be a 128ch model number, but I bet if you look inside the cover of the radio and trace ...

A more detailed procedure for retuning your Spectra VCO has been added to the Spectra page. Enjoy.

It was specifically written using a 900 radio as a demo, just to make your life easier.

http://www.batlabs.com/specband.html for the instructions on modifying your band limits in your Spectra RSS.

My appologies for this taking so long to get posted.

Best of the season to everyone!

Bat

Good news folks... I have a hack for the RSS to move the bandlimits.

I'm finishing off the details and will get something put together and posted soon.

Check the wiring to the forward/reflected power sense circuit in the PA. If the controller in the MSF does not sense good power, or senses high reflected power, it kills the PA and does exactly what you say.

OK, now that I have your interest, here is what I am looking for...

With 800MHz Maxtracs so cheap these days, and the lack of cheap, quality, computer controlled scanners, I need someone to develop a PIC to interface a computer to the PLL in a Maxtrac (receive only).
