[Motorola] Motorola Astro Spectra

[tvsjr]

All Astro Spectras are capable of 2.5KHz deviation, however the older units don't have a high-enough stability oscillator to tune the splinter channels like 155.6475.
1Meg indicates a 1MB vocon, instead of a 512K.

1Meg, 2.5KHz are far more desirable.

Feel free to send me one for consultation ;-)  Seriously, if you have some to get rid of, let me know.

Hello group, 



I have the possibility of picking up some Spectra's (110w, trunk mount).  I noticed some have "1Meg" and "2.5 Khz" on the ID tag and some don't.  What is meant by 1 meg, and does the 2.5 Khz mean they are capable of narrow band?  Some of the Astro Spectras have neither the 1 Meg or 2.5 Khz on the ID tag.  What's the difference?  Is one type more desirable than the other?  Thank you for any information. 



Regards, 



Tim W7TRH WA
