Hi John.
Well, esxtended frequency coverage means different things to different
people. Yes, you are right. Mine has the coverage from 118 to 174 and 420
to 524 MHz. It didn't dawn on me that he was talking about opening it up
to 900 MHz--I regard anything that provides coverage outside the ham bands
as "extended coverage."
