I know this thread is somewhat outdated, but here's my two cent's worth.
As far as I can tell, APX 7000 is a quad band radio. Here are my reasoning.
1. The radio's description says that it is a "multi band" radio, not a dual band radio
2. Unlike XTS series or other previous models, APX 7000 has only one model number, H49TGD9PW1AN, regardless of which band combination the radio may have.
3. Depot version of the CPS allows creation of a codeplug in any combination of the four. In theory, which I have not tried yet, the radio can even do U1 and U2 combo, allowing transmission from 380Mhz all the way to 520Mhz.
What this means is that any combination of the four bands it offers, mainly VHF, UHF1, UHF2 and 7/800Mhz, can be progammed into the radio. As far as I understand, all you need after rebanding it (without physical modification to or replacment of any of its boards) is to replace its antenna for the right band combination.
I welcome any comments.
