VHF 150-174 Mhz, 99 channels, 110 watts. Should be easy to tweak into 2 meter if you wanted. I can email you a sales brochure on PDF on that radio if you want. PL

Ok
we will start with
Volume = speaker level
Channel/System = the tens spot in the channel selector or System number in a LTR system
Channel/Group = the ones spot in the channels selector or Group number in a LTR system
(Nice channel selector can move up/down by ten ex. 1 to 10 or 20 ...)
Scan = turns Scan on/off
Lock = Lock or unlock channels from scan
P1 = sets the 1st priority channel for scan
P2 = sets the 2nd priority channel for scan
(that if they are turn on and what scan mode is set by the software)
Mon = disables the CG on the receiver
Horn = will honk horn when a call is received
Call = turns off call indicator
Blank = Not use
Set = opens squelch to set volume level
Aux = can be used to turn on other equipment through a relay driven by a transistor on the radio mother board.

How that?

Does anyone happen to have a service manual for one of these radios? The one I got has some issues and is missing the cable from the radio to the box the control head hooks to, the power cable for the control head box, and there is another port with three pins that does not have a cable.

I really want to see this radio operate, but I am not sure it will.

Thanks
Tim B,

The cable between the control box and radio is a 8 connector,
a cat 5 plug will work if you file the sides down.
The 3 connector jack is for Ingition sense.
I'll look to see if I have a extra manual
