My amateur radio transceiver does not seem to receive out of the ham band frequencies as well as it does in the ham bands…Is mine defective ?
Alinco guarantee specifications only within the ham bands on our products. Characteristics of reception, as well as transmission, outside of the ham bands (authorized use only) is not specified. In some cases, such as the wide band receiver, we declare the typical sensitivity values on different frequencies, but can not guarantee the value for the entire range. For example, the DJ-V5T transceiver receives a wide range of frequencies. We specify the sensitivity on FM broadcast, 144 MHz and 440 MHz bands only. Other than these frequencies, reception is considered an accessory feature. If you are interested in a particular frequency for operation, not only for Alinco products, but other brands as well; it is recommended that you contact your dealer or the manufacturer first to make sure the product performs well at that frequency.
