Well, this page was written unofficially by a well-known Yaesu guy. Perhaps
his "pre"-review missed something, because I am rather sure it does cover
6.
I just got a very quick reply from Chip Margelli (about 5 minutes
after sending my message to him) and he said that it was in fact
a typo error and the radio will transmit on 6m.
He said the typo error would be fixed this afternoon (he must mean
California time as it is already evening here in Massachusetts).
