Thanks again for the info. According to Alex's post I'm really not very far off with my cheap meter, so maybe I'll just not use the first 14 channels (bummer). As far as tuning the split I've sent emails to a couple of radio shop here in SATX and I'll see what they offer. One place I found online wanted $250/hr )more than I paid for the radio), so maybe I'm better off just letting it be.
