FT23R Freq. coverage
                        ====================

I have just spent an hour or so fiddling inside my FT23, and I have had some
success. I eventually found the 50-300MHz coverage configuration, plus
another interesting one. I have also attempted to sort out the table supplied
by EA4CAI.

 7     8     9                 coverage (or, "display shows")
===============                =========
(1 = link made)

 0     0     0                 220 - 550 (!) strewth!
 0     0     1                 144 - 164
 0     1     0                 unknown, untried
 0     1     1                 140 - 160
 1     0     0                 50 - 300
 1     0     1                 144 - 148
 1     1     0                 unknown, untried
 1     1     1                 144 - 146 UK spec

I don't know if the 0-0-0 option really covers the frequencies as listed
above as I have no antennas to try with. Also there is no guarantee that what
the display says is what the radio can receive.  What is required now is
someone with an FT23 and access to a frequency counter, to check out what is
actually happening.

Anyway, that's the result of my findings, thanks for putting me on to these
mods in the first place.
