Yeah, I popped one in my syssaber, 440-470. It's putting out RF at a consistent level with my regular modules. I don't have an absolute level to report, cause the only wattmeter I have handy is a crappy ratshack one, My bird is at work, I'll check it out next week and post results. My guess is that they are international replacement parts, for who I have no idea. Without checking spec, I'd probably avoid them as a part for public safety or serious buisness use, but since I rarely venture out of the ham band, at $10 or less apeice, or whatever I paid for mine, I'm not complaining. I'll park it in front of the Agilent spectrum analyzer for good measure too.

Good luck, Will

P.S. I checked the company out, and C-mac seems to be a manufacturing house of some sort, maybe london P.D. needed a whole slew of spares, figured they could get them outsourced for less than the $500 M. Charges.

Thanks for that input Will

Big M must let this company manufacture these units. I would of thought they would of put a patant on there parts, I guess if ther had M permision and built them to a specific quality. God knows. Ill Give them a go in my radios and let you know how I get on later. Thanks for clearing the sky for me on this topic.
