The PRO96 seems to have better sensitivity across the band than the older
radios and once the expansion is enabled with the software, the frequencies
can then be entered from the radio's keypad. Early reports indicate pretty
good reception on some of the frequencies at the top of the band. We'll have
to wait for someone to do some measurements to see exactly what the
performance is.

Someone did it. Here are some measurements (with a comparison to the
PRO-95):

There's a "hump" at about 300MHz. A few posts on strongsignals suggest
that MilAir reception is acceptable. (One user indicated that he was
listening to air and tower comms 35-50 miles out).
