I have the MTS2000 mobile, one mobile and one in an EF Johnson base station 
consul as my base radio, a Motorola LCS2000 mobile which is my backup for 
that band for either or, and I may come up with another use for that soon, 
then I have 2 Motorola MTS2000 HT's for 900 MHz. I may have something else 
in a box in the cellar but don't remember, I need to go through that box 
again. Pave paws pretty well took 440 from us around here in MA, like it did 
in CA, so we went to 900 MHz, especially after getting hold of a stock pile 
of about the best Motorola repeaters you can get so it's real popular around 
here and in CA, and there are pockets of activity throughout the country, 
like most of those bands, some areas it's popular, others it's nonexistent. 
One of the great things about the band is, buildings that uhf and vhf can't 
get out of, like on an ht, on 900 mhz you can get a signal in and out of. 
Where I used to live, that was something I loved with the EOC I volunteered 
in, everyone's struggling with their radios, and here I am on that band 
having a full quieting conversation with someone and no one could figure out 
how I was doing it. In my mother's house too, where I'll be a couple days 
this week while people work on it, I'd never get out well on 2 meters unless 
I go out on the porch or in the yard, 900 MHz, I can sit at the kitchen 
table while people work and I'm there alone and talk to people. Thing is, do 
I bring the MTS2000 or the Kenwood TK-481, but I'll decide that in the next 
day or so.
I don't know what you listen on, but if there's any PL-259's involved, you 
won't hear anything, they're 100% useless on the band. I don't find a 
scanner to be much good there at all, only the radios meant to be there.
