Re: Opening up the FT 60/MARS Modificatoin

I don't believe the FT 60 is Narrowband capable.?
Opening up the frequency section would not give you much access to MARS or Public Safety in the USA as both services have converted to this mode. Additionally most Urban public safety agencies are using Trunking systems which the FT60 won't do. Many have moved to 700 and 800 Mhz.
Even our Rural fire departments have converted to Narrowband on VHF.
You can still listen to Marine VHF if you are near the water.
