This manual is applicable to the ES Series Models II/III Portable radios, software 6.14.x or
later. The availability of many of the following features is controlled by the model of your
radio, factory coding of your radio, installed options, firmware version, and field
programming. Refer to Section 9 for more information.
Note
As of January 2013, the FCC has mandated all UHF/VHF radios shall not allow
wideband (25 kHz) mode. Federal frequencies are not under FCC jurisdiction; therefore,
Federal customers can continue to order wideband in VHF and UHF. This mandate does
not affect 800 MHz and can continue to have wideband after January 1, 2013. This option
shall prevent UHF/VHF radios bought after January 1, 2013 from operating in wideband
mode.
