I already have the UHF radios in stock - trouble is, they have a
different programming interface. One of the changes I had to work out
with the manufacturer for the VHF version was support for 5 and 6.25 kHz
steps - this meant changing the frequency format from multiples of 12.5
kHz (in binary) to the actual desired frequency (in BCD.)
You could drop a T2-301 board in one of the UHF units now and it'd work,
you just wouldn't be able to set the frequency except by removing the T2
board and hooking up a programming cable.
Once I have enough boards in stock, I'll work on adapting it to the UHF
units - assuming I haven't already sold out of UHF radios and have new
ones with 5/6.25 kHz tuning on the way.
FCC Part 90 and CE certification are in progress now for the VHF model,
but I'm not making any promises on when that'll be done.
