Does yaesu vx-3r do narrowband 5 digits after the decimal?

[Danny37]

Such as 452.23125? Will the yaesu 3r take it? What's your general feedback on the radio?

Not to be one of "those" guys, but 452.000 MHz is outside of the ham radio 70cm band, and the Yaesu VX-3R is FCC type accepted only for use within the amateur radio bands.

Just sayin'


According to the Yaesu website, the VX-3R does the following tuning steps:
5/9/8.33/10/12.5/15/20/25/50/100 kHz
The website does not say if it transmits in NFM.

It would be strictly rx only as I don't have the mod so I was just wondering.

And on top of that, I have never seen a radio that you could enter in 5 digits. 4 digits is the norm.

You would need a tuning step of 50 Hz to dial that oddball in. Since the lowest Yaesu gives you is 5 KHz, this is not possible. But you might get close enough to hear something in the passband.
