Accommodating FCC channel plans in conjunction with the BAS Relocation Project, the PMR-II offers manual or pre-set channels with tuning in 0.25MHz steps. The unit is capable of receiving frequencies between 1.990 and 2.500GHz. When configured for HD, the PMR-II supports 1080i and 720p formats in addition to SD modes.
