First, I apologize for the lack of an intro, but I don't see an introduction forum.
I'm scheduled to take my Tech and General exams in mid-July, so I've been radio shopping. I notice that alot of the imported radios, HT's and mobile's, from Yaesu, Icom, Alinco, etc., only cover from 430-450 MHZ, not 420-450 MHZ.
Is this because of a difference in Ham bands between the United States and Asia, or is it for another reason? I did notice, when reviewing band plans, that 420-430 is mostly organized for ATV. Could that be the reason?
Thanks.
