[SixClub] Is the Midland Syntech II 42-50 mhz 110w Ham friendly?

[kd4e]

Is this rig useful or easily modified for 6M Ham use
or too narrowly optimized for the intended public
service application?

Midland Syntech II Model# 70-0520CWB 42-50 mhz 110w. 99 channel (wide 
band 11 mhz spread at 50 watts). scan- dual priority scan- Pl- DPL - up 
to 320 channels. This model has programmable "pacrat" vhf for remote 
operation thru the vehicle with VHF handheld. seperate BNC connector - 
No Mike,speaker,mounting tray or power cable comes with the radio. all 
we have are Drawer units, heads adn control cables. currently untested 
but removed working.

I see the power cable for $9. online and the manual for $7., the 
matching mic and speaker for $10. each.

Found the programming adaptor cable here

Programming software may be here but I am running
Linux and the app is for Windows
