Does a Low Band Astro Spectra Exist
Is there such a beast as a VHF-lo Astro Spectra?
I see 6 versions below 90mhz in the model number decoding page, but I have never seen one on flea bay.

No. What decoder says it exists? Stop using it, it's wrong.

The one on Batlabs.

Personally I'd be more interested in a Y split.

Let me be the 50th to say: Main page on batlabs is horribly out of date and most of the info you see there should be taken with a grain of bath salt!

Re: Does a Low Band Astro Spectra Exist
To be fair, because "they" allowed for it in the model number does not mean one was ever built. However if a customer had made a large enough order for one of the other splits for them to have been built in that split a valid number could have been issued opposed to an SP.
Re: Does a Low Band Astro Spectra Exist
I suspect the model chart was copied from another radio and adapted to the Astro line. Note the other "options" that don't exist. Multiple power levels that were never available in the mobiles, physical package options, channel spacing options, pretty much every column has things that could not be ordered with the Astro Spectra. Though I find the TDMA "option" to be especially unique...
Re: Does a Low Band Astro Spectra Exist
They were available in the EMA market.

Re: Does a Low Band Astro Spectra Exist
Low band Astro Spectras exist. But you have to order them with FPP and Fascinator, and your profession should include burgling bovines.
Re: Does a Low Band Astro Spectra Exist

Phase 2 trunking is outdated and is being phased out by most military systems.
The new Phase 3 trunking allows 8 voice conversations in one 6.25 channel.
BATON encryption is mandatory to support data rates up to 1Mbps.
However, you must use a horizontally polarized antenna to support this mode. I work around this by holding my radio sideways.

I have some, they are FPP though.
Kilgore: Smell that? You smell that?
Lance: What?
Kilgore: Napalm, son. Nothing in the world smells like that.
Kilgore: I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...

What sucks is Phase 4... you have to install your mobile radio upside down with the antenna connector facing up in order to properly sync with the inverted bovine singular wave shift phase.tvsjr wrote:Hello.jhooten wrote:will it do Phase 2 trunking also?
