- What radios do you own?: Too many!
As per the Batlabs page:
Converting a UHF Spectra for Amateur use
The older versions of Spectra software wouldn't allow a 450-512 MHz radio to go below 449MHz. The latest Spectra RSS allows programming to 440. You may have to retune the VCO to get the radio to "lock" on freqs below 440.5 MHz in receive mode. This version of RSS also lets you program down to 140 MHz on the 146-174 MHz bandsplit radios.
If you need to modify your RSS to open it up to the ham band, then you will need to go here http://www.batlabs.com/specband.html
The VCO modifications are covered here http://www.batlabs.com/specvco.html
