that does 2 and 440, out of the box it receives the usual, 118 to 174 and
420 to 512 I believe it is but there's a very easy modification to do,
cutting a green wire which I did and it pretty much covers on receive from
118, with some skips, all the way up to and through most of the 800MHz band.
Cell blocked, it's a perfectly acceptable mod, Kenwood will give it to you
even I think. If not it's all over the net, mods.dk and places like that.
might be on Kenwood's web site even now that I think of it.
