Plenty of countries besides the US can use 222mhz-all of region 2 plus Somalia in region 1. Not sure about 902 but I know that the US, Canada, and Somalia can use it.

The radio probably only has the internal space for one module so some design of intelligent outboard transverter is the way to go.

Too bad that 222 and 902mhz can't be offered as

Date: Saturday, August 22, 2009, 4:17 AM OK. Wasn't sure of the VHF bands available in Europe. 70 mHz always
stuck
in my mind because I recall seeing it occasionally
on the
European Packet Clusters. At first, I kept thinking somebody
is
typing in the wrong frequency. I guess not!

70MHz is used but 50MHz is much more common.

FB on 50 Mhz. Is the 70 mHz band
used more
in the European ham theatre?
