Here we go again…… Icom screwing up a potentially very nice multi-VHF band radio by leaving out the 220-225 MHz band capability !!

 

All of ITU Region 2 has allocations for 220-225 MHz, with the exception of the US & Canada (222-224). I would think there would be sizable marketing interest in all of SA, US, and Canada for a SDR covering the 1.25M band. 

Just because Japan does not have that frequency band allocation, they won't even consider it as a feature in these radios.
