150-174 MDX into ham band?

Post by Prospect63 »

Anybody know if you can program a PMH4SA (150-174) GE MDX into the 2 meter ham band? I'm using EDACS4 ProGrammer.

Thanks!

Dan,
I do not know of any way whatsoever to get that "H" split radio to go there.
The MDX cannot be used with SC4 files but you might be able to find a way to get there
using EDACS3 DOS software using SC files.

The Yahoo Group "GE" might be more helpful for an answer to this...

Thanks Ken.

I'm selling all my MDX's and "moving up" to Orions now. I can't wait to try and re-learn a whole new line of radios. It's amazing how much is different. I've been using MDX's for almost 10 years...

Thanks for your help!

I'm almost positive that I was able to simply change the split in the settings and it just
worked immediately as the other split. Now mind you, I only tried one 2m freq (don't
remember which one, it was 2 years ago) and I never took it any further in any way (tuning,
etc.) The radio belonged to a firefighter and he was more concerned with using it for
that than if it also did the ham band so I put it back. If I recall correctly, the low split
tops out at 150, right? That would have made it far less useful to him than a high split.
