I have not done the mod so far for the reason brought up in last message
(below).
I also have another radio. D you loss the "band scan'?
It is my understanding that once you modify the radio from factory settings,
you lose country-specific information, such as band plans, auto-repeater +/-
and offset. The radio simply becomes a general coverage transceiver and you
must manually enter all information such as splits and shift directions. I
don't think it is worth the trouble for just 5 channels and I have other
rigs that will cover those. I think you also lose the auto-search
capability that is really useful for when you enter a new area but I am not
sure about that.

Subject: [FT817]60mtr mod and Auto repeater offset?
I am confused as to after making the mod, do you loose the Auto repeater
offset feature or do you go into the menu to turn it off to turn it on. I
have heard different stories.
Wud someone who has made the mod in the US let me know as to what happens
to the Auto repeater offset function
