Hi!
Do not worry Johan, I think the european model will cover the
air band without any mods. At least the one I got few weeks ago
covers it.

Hi All
I ordered my '817 a few weeks ago and I am still waiting like a kid
on Xmas eve...
When I asked the swedish dealer about possible delivery date, the
answer was
"we don't know..."... Sweden's priority seems to be between zero
and
nil at Yaesu :~(
Anyway, I just realised that the european model of FT-817 does NOT
cover
108-136MHz!? Too bad... I was really looking forward to listen to
the air band...
(It's legal to listen to any band here in Sweden.)
Perhaps it's only a "solder ball" issue? Has anyone compared the
solder ball
configuration of US/European/Japanese versions?
I'm not interested in extended TX coverage, I just want the air
band
RX.
