I new to all this and I have a Motorola MaxTrac 800 and I want to know
if it can be converted to be just an emergency scanner. I was told it
could be but I can't even find a users guide for it. Motorola's web
site dosen't even have one. If it can be converted could I do it? The
model # is D35MWA5GB6AK

I also have 2 Moto MTX 810's and 1 Moto MTX, it has no numbers just mtx
on the front. Can any one tell me anything about these radios? I looked
around the website before posting but I couldn't deside where to post
my questions so I'm sorry if there in the wrong place.

Yes, the MaxTrac and the MTX can "Scan" 800 Mhz only. Take the battery off
the MTX and see what the serial number is.
It will be H01??? the 4th character will be a "U" for 800Mhz and a "W" for
900Mhz.
The MTX can be configured as a16/32/48 channel radio and it will scan 16
channels. You need Motorola RSS software to do
this and a SLOW DOS computer.
