What is it?

Ah yes,  right track, wrong station,   It's motorola's economy line of 150 MHz taxi cab class radio, not their top of line Motran as used in Law Enforcement, don't remember the name but I remember the product line. I bailed from communications about Adam Osborne time and went into computers when they were kits.

I notice a date code that makes it look like this was made (or repaired ?) in the early 1990s at least.

boB ,

Where is that date code, I don't see a Motorola service center code, but not all service was done at Motorola centers.

How do you get a four letter ham license ? Do you admit to being on the bands that long? My original ticket has a four number code (commercial RTO).

Not Motorola or taxi cab class radio. It is however a 12VDC unit. The large pill is rated 25 Watt output and the smaller one at 30 Watts output.

Am I right that it is a VHF transmitter, it does look more ham quality construction as the rules and regs for Amateur Radio Service are vastly looser than Commercial.
I only worked in commercial and have tinkered with ham radio but never got my lisence.

The light just clicked!  Two final amps?  Not likely unless it's a dual band ham transceiver , ok 1 is 2 meter and the other 6 meter, I'm not sure that those will work on 420.

Dave has been dancing all around this thing so well that I think he deserves a big bottle of nothing! 

VHF/UHF mobile ham amplifier.

Thanks for big box of nothing

That was my specialty VHF/UHF  I have seen those but no peek inside

This one is a "what is it used for" as the image is of the entire unit. The manufacturers tag has been zapped in the pic because it states "exactly" what it "is" used for.

This should mess with boB just a bit since it was used by the local Telco for many years.... Closeup of tag shown added by Telco.

Fourth E above middle C.....

If you subscribe to this thread check your emails, the answer will be there... Technodave posted the answer, but then went and edited it to a bunch of xxxx's.   (see last post on page 5 of this thread).  You're guess is pretty good

The question was what does it do and I nailed it, but then decided it would be more fun to let you all guess just what I'd does.
