FTM-400 Out of Band Receive (AM, 174-400Mhz and 480-999.99MHz): Why are my channels missing from memory?
This is a common question for tech support on this radio and program. "Why are not all the channels that I programmed into memory available when I try to tune to them?" .
Generally it it thought that the program did not send them completely to the radio. That is not possible with a Yaesu radio. If it's in the file and the file is transferred successfully to the radio, ALL the channels are sent to the radio.
SOLUTION: What appears to be an omission on the radio is just a setting that needs to be changed. The channels that are not available are outside the ham band (137-174 MHz and 400-480 MHz) for this radio. Remember, this is RECEIVE only. We're not talking about transmission here.
By default, the RX Coverage option of the radio is set to Normal (ham only). This limits the RX Coverage to the ham band only.
To change this in the programmer, go to Settings | Radio Menu Settings | Common 1 tab and set RX Coverage to Wide for Band A and Band B.
Close and save the Settings.
Do Communications | Send data to radio with your frequency file and the new settings.
Now when you scan or tune in Memory or VFO, all the frequencies will be available.
