So I have a new VHF P25 rig to install.. Are there any repeaters in the Bellevue area? |

Lets just say today was a good day. A vhf, a uhf and a 700/800 XTL 5000 showed up today at work. |

Thats how I got my Astro Spectra... My favorite radio in my truck now... Showed up at work with no place to go... Still in the box. :mrgreen: There is a p25 uhf machine north of Seattle... and plans for another UHF I know of but VHF is lacking... Anyone know of a VHF pair Id have it up in record time but VHF freqs are still in hot demand and pairs are just not to be easily found. |

Unfortunately the UHF band split is 450-520. I have never seen/programmed anything but 800 radios, I don't know if it will go into the ham bands |

WWARA shows 145.13 and 145.29 as shared non-protected pairs. ( https://www.wwara.org/Band_Plans_2004_06_03.pdf ) Keep us posted if you get a machine on the air! |

Ive never considered those due to how many of them were on the air last time I looked quite a while back... Ill give a listen. Thanks! |

Yeah I've been hearing 145.29 lately with a white noise. Not sure if that's P25 or not. |

There are a couple of D-Star repeaters on 145.290 in Seattle area. I think there's at least one D-Star on 145.130 (Bellevue). If they're linked to a reflector, they can become pretty noisy. Brad. |

I have never seen/programmed anything but 800 radios, I don't know if it will go into the ham bands If the radio is an XTL 5000 there is a good chance that it will work down to 440MHz both in analog, and digital (assuming it is flashed for digi) but will need to edit your CPS. You will need a hex editor to change the values. Here is a link on how to edit the Patpoort.EXE file. http://www.akardam.net/moto/docs/cps-oob.html The XTL's are better about out of band operation versus the older Astro Spectra. I have XTL 's on VHF, UHF, and 900MHz and aside from some firmware bugs from time to time (I just wait a week or two to upgrade after a new release, if there are bugs you will hear about them) the work great.

What version of cps should I use? Does 14 or 15 work, or should I choose an earlier version? n7maq wrote: Badger wrote: Unfortunately the UHF band split is 450-520.
