I believe that this unit had a relatively narrow VCO and front
end................the FT-23R, which came out right after this one, was the
first unit to have extended coverage.

I just got an FT-208 and I'm trying to modify it for a broader frequency
range. Anyone have any experience with this model? The internet's turning
