Possibly the wrong forum, but please bear with me:

My Icom IC-900A (UHF Module) will receive up to about 456 MHz, but no
higher. I'm wondering if there is a mod out there which will enable receive
up to 461 Mhz. Does the VCO stop at such a high freq? The specs say max
rcv is 450, but I'm trying to stretch it a bit.

If convenient, please respond to: oildale69 at juno dot com

Thanks

There is a mod for expanding the IC-900 UHF frequency coverage, you
remove diode D25 at position 3-B in the diode matrix. Get the mod for
more details.
