The UHF units were 717x and 718x (the 7x were 1st generation and 8x were 2nd generation)


The following numbers replace the x as mentioned above:


1 = 2 Channel 25 watts (VHF) 15 watts (UHF)

2 = 8 Channel 25 watts (VHF) 15 watts (UHF)

3 = 2 Channel 40 watts (VHF) 35 watts (UHF)

4 = 8 Channel 40 watts (VHF) 35 watts (UHF)
