Motorola CDM1250 Low Band Out Of Band

[RF-Burns]

Does anyone no if a CDM1250 Low Band 42-50Mhz can be programmed for six meters? I'm unsure if this question has been asked, I didn't find anything when I did a search. I would like to use it for 46mhz Public Safety and 6 Meters.

Go over to Batlabs. I think those Waris radios are pretty tight and don't allow for hacking out of band codeplugs.

I already did, they don't have any info on the low band model

No one has crack them yet. You can use Labtool to make a 29-36 radio to a 42-50 radio.,but this will only mod to a factory band split.

Thank you very much for a stright answer. I guess I will keep my modified maxtrac.

If you're handy with a hex editor, you may try to modify the CPS and see what the radio is actually capable of. A radio rated up to 50 MHz will have some spill over performance above that. It's just a matter of finding out how much. The good ol' X9000 syntor would cover all of 10 meters AND all of 6 meters.

Also, just because no one has made them go out of band yet, doesn't mean it can't be done. I've moved Motorola radios all over the place, including places where people said they couldn't go.

Not Motorola, but if you wanted a lowband radio with alpha tags, I'd look into the M/A-Com Orion. They are fairly cheap and with 100 Watts out, too. They can be programmed out of band with an SC4 file. Lately on Ebay, they've been going for about $15.00 for the radio itself (no control head of other accessories). You can sometimes get lucky and find one complete for around $100.00.
