These just came out of service and work just fine. They will do the 2
meter Amateur band.



Unless memory fails me, those units will do 2M fine.... but just above
146.000 MHz.

They are excellent rigs, though. I've had several on 2M and 440 in the
past.

They will program below 146.00 by pressing the SHIFT key when entering
the numbers for the frequency. You enter 145.1700 as !$%.!&)) and save
this information. The correct frequency shows in the data field once it
has been entered. You will get a warning about the radio needing to be
recalibrated, but it will work below 146.00.
