Combination Numbers

From the outside of the cabinet, the MASTR II mobile radios all look the same. The "combination number" is the key to decode what band the radio was built for, and what options were shipped inside or with the radio. Use these combination number tables to decipher the combination numbers and choose the right radio for your conversion. The frequency ranges that are most easily converted to amateur band operation are marked in red.

The information in these tables was gleaned from several MASTR II manuals.
