I got a great deal on some of these radios and have perfected the modification of them for 220 MHz Amateur service. Basics on them are 255 Channels, 16 channels per group, 16 groups, latest firmware and professionally aligned on my service monitor. http://gallery.keekles.org/v/Radio_stuff/0918151645.jpg.html I have some details on the modifications up here http://wiki.w9cr.net/index.php/Waris If anyone wants one, please hit me up off list. They are $130, and you'll need a battery/charger and programing cable. 73's -- Bryan Fields, W9CR Florida Simulcast Group, Inc.
