You might as well trade the whole radio which by the way won't be easy being a VHF spectra is worth three to four time more the money. Any you cant just change the borads the whole radio even the RF deck is not the same.

Well, I did not get anyone with any VHF boards, so I put the Command AND RF boards from a 900 radio in a VHF radio and changed a few parts, mostly chip resistors on the RF board and got a VHF radio that works better than a stock VHF Spectra radio!!!! So the command AND RF boards will work.

I wonder if you might be willing to let us know what parts you changed on a 900mhz rf board to turn it into a vhf board. This sounds like a feat worthy of sharing with the rest of us.
