they must have changed it because mine I had to cut a wire for the really
extended coverage, not the 118 to 175 and 430 to 512, but to get the rest
of it I did. they might have changed it, I don't know. At 1 point HRO didn't
have any MC-60A mics, about a year ago for 2 months or so because Kenwood
was late in shipping them so that could have happened with the TM-g707A, I
haven't heard anything about it being discontinued and have asked and no one
has said yes. It's possible though I suppose but I'd hope they'd replace it
with something as good first.
