by a bit (4032) i think is ok. 6 mhz just below the ham band is
ok and so is 7mhz above the ham band. it does not cover any of
the 4.9 or 5.1 mhz freqs nor 3.2 mhz. it does have i fix crystal
option for each ham band and edges. that about all i know.

Troy,
  If you're wanting to limit the sale to a local person, you MIGHT
  consider posting it in a more "local" area than HAM-SALE.  This goes
  everywhere in the U.S., Canada and (maybe?) Europe.
  Also....an explanation of what all those model numbers are might
  help you sell them!  Not everyone is as familiar with them as you
  might think....just a suggestion, though.
