As we work to get 224.280 online at the new site, I've got a bit of
a promotion offer for the group.<br>
<br>
<b>If you make a $160 or greater donation to FSG, you'll get a 220
band Motorola HT1250. <br>
<br>
</b>These have been professionally modified for wideband FM by
changing the IF filters and further modified to 255 Channels (16 per
Zone). <br>
Each will program with the standard window software, and have been
checked out on my test equipment. I've upgraded the firmware to the
newest as well. <br>
<br>
While I could sell them for double on <a
href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOTOROLA-HT1250LS-217-225MHz-250-channels-VHF-5W-RADIO-will-do-1-25m-Ham-220-/121603728491?hash=item1c5025a46b:g:AtQAAOSweW5VELgI">eBay</a>,
I've donated these to FSG and they are to be used for our members to
spur some activity on the repeaters. <br>
I doubt most on eBay are <a

with the filters changed for wideband.<br>

The HT1250 is a rugged commercial grade HT and includes features not
seen on most ham grade radios. <br>
<ul>
<li>True bi-level squelch, with no setting needed</li>
<li>PL and DCS reverse burst, meaning the radio will transmit a
shutoff code before unkeying, eliminating squelch tail. <br>
</li>
<li>1/5 W transmitter, with no measurable harmonics. I measured
one at the ARRL Lab booth, where most boafeng HT were failing,
this HT was one of the cleanest they saw! <br>
</li>
<li>Great FM audio</li>
<li>LOUD! receive audio<br>
</li>
<li>24 Hour Clock</li>
<li>5/12.5/20 KHz steps</li>
<li>DTMF keypad</li>
<li>MDC/tone signaling support<br>
</li>
<li>Personalized serial number, the radio serial number will be
your callsign and have a label identifying it to you on the
back.<br>
</li>
<li>Multiple colors, Black, Cammo, Clear, Yellow, Green, Blue,
Red</li>
<ul>
<li>If a color has been taken, I'll let you know what's left, or
we can get the color you want case off eBay for about 14
dollars.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
This is for the radio and antenna only. You'll need to supply a
battery, charger, and optionally, a programing cable. The <a

batteries</a> are about $19 from ebay, and the <a

are under $10.<br>
<br>
The programing software is up <a
href="http://wiki.w9cr.net/index.php/Waris#Software">here.</a><br>
These are programed with the local Tampa bay repeaters and should be
good to go.<br>
We have 5 available, once they are gone, we may not get more. There
is simply not a better quality 220 HT on the market.<br>
