The D in the model number means 16 channels, a 32 channel radio would have a
J. Here is what it breaks down to be:

D = Dash Mount
4 = 30 to 50 watts
4 = 403-470 Mhz
M
J
A
7 = Conventional (Not trunking)
D = 16 Channel
A
5 = 16 or 32 channel control head (Non Trunking)
C = Revision (A is earliest B, C & D later)
K = always there

I have 7 motorola maxtracs model number D44MJA7DA5CK. The are programmed to
16 channels, but i have been told they are actually 32 channels. Does
anyone know how to decode the model number to figure this out. The person
who told me stated that a 7 in the model # is a 32 channel, and the 16
channels have a 5, problem is, this radio has both, and i'm not sure which
digit represents this.

any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tony
