You'd be hard pressed to find a better radio for 33cm use.ġ.

My 30 watt MCS 2000 model 1 produces 27 watts on 902 & RX sensitivity at 927 is well within factory spec. It's actually fun & rewarding to hack these rigs and make them perform great on the amateur bands, something that Motorola never intended for them to do. No, I don't work at a 2-way shop or for Motorola.

IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN TOO!! I knew nothing about hex editing or CPS before I started playing with commercial gear. The programming software can be found on line for free with a little digging & the programming cables are dirt cheap on eBay.īatlabs has all the hex editing info you need to modify the CPS for direct entry of the amateur frequencies. Models with a "U" as the 4th character are 800 MHz units and WILL NOT work on 33cm amateur. If the 4th character is a "W", it'll work on 33cm regardless.

Clueless sellers on eBay often site the model # in the listing, but you're only interested in the ID#. Tip: When looking for a 900 MHz radio, look for a "W" as the 4th character in the ID#. These radios are great performers on 33cm and can be found for cheap on eBay.
