Yes I hear what your saying about the inter-mod.  At one point I had one of
the micro Yaesu VX-1R dual-band HT's and using UHF was useless (without PL
decode) here in the metro area on the rubber duck.... inter-mod just killed
it, VHF was Ok.  On the other hand, my FT-817ND is connected to a outside
dual-band J-Pole and I hear no inter-mod on V/Uhf at all, must be in the
design.  Like the upcoming KX3, the 817 was designed for portable use yet
it's VHF receive (108-154) stops short of the NWS 162.xxxmhz range.  I
personally would like to have the NWS receive capability on my grab-and-go
portable.

And yes, I could go with a portable scanner, but I just thought I'd throw
out the suggestion to widen the 144 receiver and let the design team
determine if it's doable or not.  Either way I am going to buy a KX3 and I
can always carry my 5w HT which does receive NWS (and is not effected by
inter-mod), but I'd just rather have it all-in-one like my 817 is (I don't
use UHF much).

tnx
