Maybe someday that will change. Keep in mind this radio was designed in

1999/2000. Analog was still very relavant then. There may be other reasons, too. There is also a band blocked between 1213 and 1229. I can't come up with much on this. Justin

Wow, that's really a shame an FCC legally allocated amateur band would be blocked to prevent us from overhearing someone ordering a pizza. Funny thing to have a ham radio and one of the ham radio bands it covers are blocked. The ECPA of 1986 is very outdated, as most current cell phones are digital and conversations can't be heard. What a backwards enforcement method . . . Randy --- In TMD700A@yahoogroups <mailto:TMD700A%40yahoogroups.com> .com, "Justin L. Ogden" <n3thc@...> wrote: This may be the case.

Triolobut I receptionwas wondering why Kenwood would have deliberately ommitted ofmiddle ofthe 900 MHz band from 913-935 MHz? This is smack dab in the noticea US allocated amateur band (33cm) so this makes no sense. I (suchother models that offer 900 MHz reception don't have this block butas the Kenwood TH-G71A). Again, the sensitivity isn't wonderful Idoes allow reception of most local 33cm repeaters in my area.I wonder if some of it might be an extension of the cellular block. know cell phones aren't there, but paging, for example, occupiesthe 929-931 neighborhood, which might have been consideredquestionable. And band. amateur band, but I can't think of any other reason.
