Re: fm828,
I assume by 477 you mean UHF CB. You need a W1 Band for UHF CB, although you MIGHT get away with a U Band.john1973 wrote:anyone know of a good tch that is capable of doing 477 for my fm828,sydney tech wanted.
The FM828 requires a pair of crystals for each Channel.
From memory, the maximum number of channels you can have in an FM828 is 10, although most units were only 1-Channel or 3-Channel.

OK, I think you are out-of-luck.john1973 wrote:thanks comint,i have 2 units 1 6ch version standard and is a u band,the other i have is a bit of an unknown as it has 10ch but 1 crystal which is on 510mhz,but has optional extension board on the bottom for sellcall,3 buttons& 2 toggle switches,thanks for your reply.
The U Band is 450 - 470 MHz, and while some people have allegedly gotten the occasional radio to work on 477 MHz, I believe it has been with limited success.
And the 510 MHz frequency would indicate a W2 Band, which is 500 - 520 MHz, and definitely not suitable.
The W1 Band is 470 - 500 MHz.
