| Question from a newbie on the Yaesu FT990 and inaccessible bands | KZ8KZO | on 9/3/13 |
| Hello all. Marty from Kalamazoo MI here. KZ8 KZO I have a technician level permit, and have spent all my beer money to buy a Yaesu FT-990. It appears to me that this unit will only operate (for me as technician grade and NOT a CW user) in the 80m, 40m, 15m and 10m bands. Only 10m allows voice, and that's a mighty fine slice of 200 mhz that no one seems to be on. I can do voice on the 6m > 23cm bands, but this "great radio" stops at 30mhz. Soooooooooooo ... 6 of the 7 bands I'm allowed to operate on are not accessable on this radio. I'm disappointed and frustrated. All at the same time. Do I need another radio ? Direct reply at martyspaulding@gmail.com is appreciated as I don't visit this site daily. Marty KZ8 KZO |
