@wayoverthere @Lscott Looks like I am a fool. The Vertex CPS yells at you when you try to program OOB but it lets you do it. I swear my eyes were playing tricks on me and the frequency was reverting to the low end when I did it a month ago. Played with it again tonight and I now have a Moto branded EVX-S24 (403-480) RXing public safety in the 480's and a Vertex branded EVX-534 (450-512) TX-RXing in the 440's (can do 4 & 5 KHz deviation as well) just using the CPS. The RX in the 480's sounds good, I don't notice any sensitivity loss. I will put the 534 on the SA and Watt meter tomorrow and see what it looks like TXing in the 440's into a dummy. Thanks for all the input. EDIT PS: Next step is to get the 7.2 volt Mitsubishi MOSFET running on the S24

I have a Vertex branded EVX-539 that the recovery tool 1.03 is stating "Product Type Error" using the FIF-12. This same tool worked on Moto branded S24's and lists "EVX-530 Series" in the dropdown selection but no dice when it runs. Would you have any clues?

I see, I take it the file was plain binary that you could read/edit with no type of encryption? If the radio rejected that this may be a dead end without modifying the FW in the radio. Also, did you drop the 512 down by 10MHz as well or did you go for 440-512? Or were you just trying to hack a single channel out of band?
-
Interesting information. What was your method of modifying the plug? Did you attempt xor decryption of the plug? Were you using CE157 CPS?
-
Could be, but it seems to key off of date/time/filename as well perhaps. If I save the same plug twice with different names the binary compare is a sea of red all through the file.

I received 2 new US EVX-S24's a couple of weeks ago. Was able to run the wide band recovery with no issue using the USB cable. Great radios, fantastic TX/RX audio. The dual watch polling drop outs are very minimal compared to my Alinco, scan speed is great and superb tail suppression. A little lacking in power and buttons but I can't expect more from a package this size. I have been running some EX-560XLS's which I also like very much as well, I am looking to receive some public safety in the 480+ range. I was able to do this with the EX-560's but the S24 seems locked down pretty tight. Looks like the plugs are encrypted. I am wondering if anyone has had any success at increasing the upper RX frequency limit on the EVX-S24.

Digital in GMRS - which mode is most appropriate?
jlag replied to intermod's topic in General Discussion
Yes, as you mentioned, for example, FIT (Forest Industries Telecommunications) or EWA (Enterprise Wireless Assocation). I am in eastern MA, a good bit south of the line. -

I had checked with NESMC. VHF is waitlisted, UHF is not, but getting tight. But correct, I should have been looking at 450-470 frequencies I believe. -

Thanks RG7268, Makes perfect sense. It does seem that there are some 440 and 222's available for co-ordination. I certainly wouldn't want to grab a pair off a waiting list in a hot market if the frequencies would be idle 90% of the time, doesn't seem fair. Maybe its time to start a for-profit communication business, put a 100 footer up at my business site $700 is a great price considering what you are getting. Aligns with the cost of quality feed-line, antenna, duplexer, maintenance, time, time and more time. Still cheaper than a boat. -

Hello RadioGuy, This is interesting. 1. Would FB6 be part of Part 90 "IG - Industrial/Business Pool - Private, Conventional" frequency pair? 2. Does this mean that I could get a DBA for my business such as "XYZ Comm", get a frequency pair and "rent" time to myself/family and friends for business and personal use? 3. I have a 60 foot mast at my residence currently, would it be allowed to run an FB6/IG transmitter at my residence (legal business address)? 4. Would I be subject to a site inspection prior to operation?
