APX radio bansplits are firmware locked. Even if the CPS installation is edited to allow for programming out of the designed band, the firmware in the radio will reject the programmed frequencies.

Software

APX radios program using the unified APX CPS Package, which supports all mobile and portable radios.

Amateur Use & Bandsplits

APX radio bansplits are firmware locked. Even if the CPS installation is edited to allow for programming out of the designed band, the firmware in the radio will reject the programmed frequencies. For this reason, users wishing to use APX equipment in the amateur bands should be sure to obtain the correct bandsplit models. The VHF bandsplit covers the entire 136-174 MHz bandsplit, but there are two UHF bandsplits: R1 and R2. UHF-R1 will cover the amateur 70cm band fine, while UHF-R2 will not.
