    You'll end up like me with a bunch more radios in your collection. It's addictive.

    That's in line with what I was seeing as well.
    Ultimately I would like to find a 10C, an 10D, a 100C, and a 100D.  I mostly expect to be working with 2m and 70cm for ham and the similar GMRS and MURS bands, I'm OK with only using part of the range of the meter so long as the equipment I'm testing will usually use half of the range.
    Your meter itself is in a lot better shape than mine.  Mine was in a testing and production-shipping lab for what originally was a paging company, before they got into selling paging systems and then later selling unified messaging conversion systems for other carriers.  I have a transmitter that I'm pretty sure was used to send out pages to beepers, crystalled for 462.900MHz.  I expect it was pretty high wattage and that the 250W-scale 400-1000MHz unit I have was properly sized for the application.

    I have a few Motorola radios. The XPR6550 is a good choice. You can buy them for reasonable prices. They also use a standard SMA type antenna connector. The XPR7550 is a better radio, but they are expensive used and have a funky stud type antenna port. So, if you need to use an external antenna you want the XPR6550.
    The XPR6580, with instructions found on the Internet, can be hacked to get it operational on the Ham 33cm band. No hardware modifications are necessary.
    Radio specifications are here:
