I bought an FT-60R and was disappointed to find that it doesn't meet its spec for coverage in the 900 MHz band.? Tuning upwards, it skips 918.5-943.5 MHz.? I can't access these frequencies from the keypad, either.? Most of the frequencies of interest to hams are in the 927-928 range, making this radio almost useless for the 900 MHz amateur band.? The spec page says cellular frequencies are blocked, but there are no cellular frequencies in this range, at least not in USA where the law they cite applies.? Anyway, I wonder if the VX-8 series has the same problem.? Its manual's specification page has some very broad disclaimers suggesting that someone at Yaesu knows that some of the specifications are false.? Has anyone here found a similar bug in their VX-7 or VX-8[G|D]R radio?
