[Motorola] Wide Lowband Radio?

Jay,

The Syntor X and X9000 cover approximately 30-54 MHz in one radio.  The low
end is a bit dodgy on some radios because the advertised range of the radio
was 32-50 MHz and the VCO may not always lock on 10 meter frequencies
without some surgery.  I have some radios that work fine on 10 through 6
meters, continuously, and one or two that don't like to lock up the VCO on
the 10 meter channels during cold weather until they have warmed up a
little, which is no big deal.
