Amateur radio 23CM 1240mhz to 1300 mhz, it could have been a DSTAR signal which Icom has radios that do dstar in 23cm. january_2016_spectrum_wall_chart_0.pdf

Does that mean I have to stop talking with myself when I have a internal conversation in my mind?

Man you people don't want to know what I have at hand. ,Some mad in Malaysia, Some in Japan, and yes one made in the U.S.

There is the Motorola XPR route like the XPR7580 which is 800/900 mhz analog and dmr

First became one when I took a little AM radio apart when I was 12 years old and put it back together again. It has culminated into my addiction over the decades, including having to enlist in the Army, MOS being 064C and it ballooned after that. Some costing thousands. Then things took a turn around when you mix computers and radios together, oh boy!! Who would of thought? People looking at my antenna as it goes up and down sometimes as I band hop. Just the look on there faces. I'm a radio Dork and there is no cure except more more more.

Actually, APRS is more then just throwing out a position report for which the BTech Pro is doing for which only other BTech Pro users can see. Though APRS is used primarily in VHF at 144.390mhz US at 1200 baud, can be used at 9600 baud UHF, and 300 Baud HF. Position reporting, weather, telemetry, messaging, and other uses like IGATE, Digipeaters relaying others beacons and messages over airwaves and thru the internet back to airwaves world wide. So people might be getting confused about the terms and what can be done with it. APRS in Amateur radio is just another form of packet radio that is used in the spectrum area of VHF that can be used for AX.25 packet protocol. Position reporting is one thing, heck my Harris XG100P can give and receive position reports from other Harris users on P25 protocol which is called SA"situation awareness" just by keying up mic button. That is just postion reporting, not APRS. So people have to realize that there are huge differences with certain gear and should not confuse the terms.

Also most if not all Alternators on current vehicles, there voltage output is controlled by the pcm, not by how fast the rpm is going. If you hook up a diagnostic tool and look at the voltage a alternator is putting out. You would think something is wrong.

whatever you do, don't use the muffler bearings from China

Check out the diamond K412 series mounts, nmo, uhf. Diamond® Antenna ~ K412S Trunk Lip Mount (diamondantenna.net)

It could be worse.

Don't even get into the QRP side of HF, depending on atmospheric conditions, you could reach out quite a distance.

People going to start calling me a smarty pants smartass. I aced this thing, I got nothing right and still got my license. Now to take over the world with a penny and a pen.

The radio in question doesn't have the circuitry in it to drive the ATAS120 motor to tune it, so the answer is a big no.

I have 2 Motorola's that I use for GMRS and HAM 70cm myself, they are the XPR7550E and XPR5550E. Handheld and mobile which both also do dmr along with analog. Just a thought if you go that route. Also have a Harris XG100pP which covers vhf/uhf and scan the 700/800 bands along with vhf/uhf trunk frequencies.

Have my D75A in hand and with the Openspot 4 Pro can crossmode into DMR, YSF, NXDN, plus using DSTAR. Only xmode can't do is P25 with it, but then again I actually do have a P25 handheld. USB-C charging at 5 watts. USB and bluetooth programming. And a few other nice things on it. You get what you pay for.
