I have seen these same EBAY radios. You can program them either way. The add is a little confusing to someone not familure with 1550's and gives the impression that only 16 Conv. chan. can be programmed which is not the case.

Correct me if I am wrong.

The CDM-1550 LS, was the old model, did 16 conventional or 128 LTR.

The new CDM-1550 LS+ with a model # ending 6AN, does 160 conventional.

That is basically true, there are two 'LS+' models...if it's a '5AN' model, it'll only do 16 or 18 conventional channels. If it's a '6AN' model, it'll do 160 conventional OR LTR modes.
