DISCLAIMER: I do not own a TH-215A and have not verified the above
information. Hopefully, the modified frequency range includes 162 MHz
weather-broadcast freqs. Remember, it is ILLEGAL to transmit outside
the ham band with non-FCC-type-accepted equipment, even if you are
licensed to use such frequencies.
