Hi
Will a 900 Mhz Maxtrac receiver from 896 thru 902 Mhz?
No transmit needed.
If so how do I do It.
Thank you in advance.

Typically that portion is used for transmit, that's not to say it can't be done. But, the receive sensitivity would probably in the neighborhood of
1 volt. You would do better converting a conventional D25 or D35 800MHz Maxtrac for a receiver. If you run a search in this forum you will see several posts on how to do it.

Hi
I'm looking to use as a receiverin the 896-902 band.
I would like to have a lot less that 1v rf sensititve.
Hopeing for atleast .5 or better sensitivity.

Use an 800 radio. It will rx there fine. Just pull and jumper the Murata filters.
You have to clip a lead on one transistor too, if I remember correctly.
Try using the search link above, there was discussion a while ago.
