Motorola Spectra Mobile Radio Module Numbers By Robert W. Meister WA1MIK

The following information was extracted from several Spectra Mobile Basic Service Manuals (BSM) as well as the Spectra Detailed Service Manual (DSM). Manual part numbers are listed below, but none of them are available from Motorola any more as the Spectra product line has been discontinued. ASTRO Spectra mobile radios are still available and are NOT covered in this article. Some older module numbers have been omitted.

Module numbers can be found on printed stickers somewhere on the circuit board. You may have to remove shields or the actual boards to find these numbers. All shields and board mounting screws have T-15 heads.

These lists are NOT all-inclusive; they are probably missing some information too. If someone has the 800 MHz BSM and can provide the missing module numbers, I'd be glad to add them.

All tables below are sorted by board name and range.

VHF Modules:

The VHF high-band is covered by two overlapping ranges:

1. 136-162 MHz

800 MHz and 900 MHz Modules:

800 and 900 MHz radios only come in one range. I don't have any BSM or model info for the 800 MHz radios because they're not used in amateur service.
