Thanks for the guidance.? Looks like these have no ability to become "new ham intro radios" for the local repeaters.

Alex, the shift trick definitely does not work when trying to go up in frequency.? I havent tried going down, since there's no legal spot to move it down band...?

When using the shift trick, The RSS chokes on input and reverts to the originally programmed channel with a warning noting the frequency limits of the radio.

I know it works on some of the other Radius and Maxtrac RSS programs, as I've successfully gotten those radios into the ham bands, and still support a number of old timers with those radios as new repeaters come on line and the radios need updating.

They are nice little radios, and I had hoped to reprogram and give them away, but it seems they will not be useful.? Maybe I'll try to set them up as low power Allstar nodes for a connection around the QTH...
