Help: Two-way Radio

[OTEP]

Hi guys, found an old Kenwood TR-9130, 2m All Mode Transceiver. To give you an idea kung gaano ka-antique ito, here's a photo:


At work, we use the somewhat newer Motorola GM300:


I was looking at the NTC registration at the office and it says that the registered frequency is 158.650mhz.

I don't know much about radio communications. I'd just like to ask if there's any way I can use the Kenwood to listen in (no real need for transmission capability) to the GM 300? The frequency display of the Kenwood ranges from 3.90-8.99 (no idea on the unit of measure).

Thanks. Sorry, I'm such a caveman when it comes to these things.

google indicates yes, there is a good chance it will work ... set the TR-9130 to FM mode because GM-300 is FM only, any frequency (3.90 means 143.90 MHz) then let the GM-300 scan for signals ... good luck!

Thanks. Malabo atang mahabol ko yung frequency na gamit sa office nito. Kasi 158.650mhz na yun. If I go by your explanation , hanggang 148.99 lang ang kaya ng TR-9130.

Hindi ko pwede kalikutin yung radio sa office baka hindi maka-contact yung mga ambulance at field personell.

ay ... naka-fix pala sa 158.65 yung GM-300 for office use ... malabo nga

Sayang, mas nakaka-aliw pa naman sa telenobela ang mga usapan dun. hehehe.

Otep- yung range ng kenwood is set up in the amateur band that is in the 14 mgh, pwede mo yan ipabatak sa mga radio technician para umabot ka sa 15 megs or sa 13 meg.
