***I’m not sure if I should post this in the Motorola Forum, or the Amateur Radio Forum…
Wanted to reach out to the experts and get advice on if the Motorola APX4500 Mobile can be programmed to support the 900MHz Amateur Ham Band???
I’ve done some research online but can’t find a concrete answer on the APX4500.
Backstory: A buddy gave me a 900MHz APX4500 Mobile Radio. He said it’s essentially useless since it won’t do anything but 900MHz. Before I throw it away, I was curious if it could be used for the 900MHz amateur band. It’s my understanding that this radio works on 896-902 MHz and 935-941 MHz, with the 33cm Ham band being right in the middle at 902-928 MHz.
Model: M22WRS9PW1AN
Please provide more than a Yes or No answer.
If NO, is it a hardware limitation, software limitation, something else.
If YES, can you point me in a direction so I can do more research, and maybe get this rig on the air.
Thanks!
