Hi Stewart,

?

Although you can program in any frequency to receive, you may not use the radio to transmit as it is not a type approved radio for transmitting outside the Amateur bands in Australia.

Subject: [FT-857] Another newbie question - programming frequencies

?

Is it possible to program non HAM frequencies into an 857 using something like CHIRP?

In Australia we have HF networks which cater for remote area 4WD travel. They license frequencies off the regulators for club members to use.

An example is??which uses 3890.5, 11487, 7899, etc.

If it is technically possible to access those frequencies from an 857 (once the legalities have been sorted), that avoids the need to carry a (heavy and bulky) second radio.

Thanks.
