Re: [chirp_devel] VX-7r: power levels for 1.25m band

I guess the solution then is to get a Kenwood. But I can't afford that yet and I'm starting to have a thing for Yaesu stuff. I wish they'd be more serious about 220.

Well, most of them aren't serious about 220 because it's not a ham band in most of the rest of the world, thus committing resources to it makes it useful only in the US. Yaesu is driving their VHF PA hard so that they can get something out of it, but only because it's "free". I doubt the other manufacturers would be willing to cut corners like that, which is why you don't see anyone else doing it.
