The FRG-9600 starts at 60 MHz- unless you ended up with the one I built an
HF coverter into, extending the coverage down below MW and sold several
years back.

Yes, it has the up converter. A toggle switch in the rear selects hf or vhf/uhf.
I have to tune 105000 to get 5000 MHz. It has the NTSC video unit also
installed. I've read that this was perhaps not the most dependable set that
Yaesu has ever made, but I've had good luck so far and the FRG 7 needed the
company.

Another poster recently asked about the CAT cable for these sets. That was what
got me to dust off this radio. I will be getting the stuff needed to make a
cable sometine in the next few days/weeks.

It's a fairly good performing set, but makes a poor (read slow) scanner.
