Hi Al, thanks for that new info! So, the 59 has the 'core' PSU/modulator, but then has up to three different heads which can be connected to that unit. Effectively though, that's 3 different GDO's, whereas I think pretty much all of GDO's made for purely for amateur use tried to cover the widest frequency range in a single box.

I just took a look at the manual for the PMR-10 ("a 59 with bells on"); that only refers to the 2-400MHz head, but I think it's safe to assume that it would have used the same strategy if it been taken up to a greater extent.
