[Motorola] VHF MAXTRAC/RADIUS

[K0DAN]

Your point is well taken. I replied to another post (possibly off the 
list?), and all split freqs I'm trying to program are receive only). No need 
or intent to transmit on any of these, the radios in question are monitor 
receivers, obtained gratis from generous befector.

When I posted, I thought, back in the day, that this family of radios was 
used for scada (moscad) apps, and was used on splinters. Guess not, and 
guess that scada on splinters was not that far back in the  radio geneology.

However, thanks again for your caveat, you are absolutely correct.
