MA Com D2HHG1?

[Axline]

I've recently acquired the D2HHG1 MA Com radio. I'm completely new to this manufacture / area of radios and see a few different branding on it (GE, Ericsson, and MA Com), and I've found some information stating it's an Orion radio.

What I'm curious to is what the specs are for this radio and if anyone could point me to a user guide. All I know is it's the remote option and I have two control heads.

Also, if anyone has any programming information that would be great. I use a lot of other VHF radios for emergency services and I program almost all of them, but this one is different than anything I've used before.

Thank you!

I googled the numba you had and led me to this: Remote Mount Scan 150- 174 110W D2HHG7 Conventional

Hall Electronics / GE Tech

Thank you for the info! I too googled it and found that page but that's all I could find.

I'd like to find out things like channel number, grouping options, other programmable options.

Most Orions hold around 250 channels if I remember correctly. You can set up groups of channels as you wish (one group of 50 channels, another of 4 channels, etc) until you reach the max channel limit. You cannot scan across groups though, you can only scan one group at a time (dual priority scan as well, which is nice). The programming software has alot of options and takes some getting used to, but it's not bad.

Lots of programmable options (T99 paging, CG, wide/narrow band, G-Star signalling, etc). Luckily for you the D2HHG7 is a narrowband compliant radio, and although most people find they won't take splinter frequencies, I got mine to. Here's a link to the EDACS version operators manual....your VHF conventional model will operate almost identically...

And the installation manual (very helpful for a GE/Ericsson newbie)...

They are very nice radios. Join that Yahoo group and sniff around a bit, you should be able to find what you need to get programming started. Good luck!

Thank you very much! That's exactly what I was looking for. I also PM'ed you about the programming.
