One of the great frustration many US FT-817/818 owners have is that the receiver can not pick up the US National Weather Service VHF broadcasts, it is a hard limitation of the FT-817/818, the reason for which I can only speculate on.

?Any reason why the 817 only covers up to 154 MHz rather than 175 MHz?
All my other Yaesu VHF radios have 136 - 175 MHz RX ?
I guess there must have been a technical issue in going beyond 154 MHz RX?
Has anybody modded an 817 to provide RX up to 175 MHz?
