K3 / KX3 extended fm receive frequencies

[W7JJL]

Are there any plans to extend the fm receive frequencies in either the K3
and/or the KX3?  I am interested in receiving broadcast band fm and public
service fm in the 2 meter band.

 

Thanks

The really useful coverage would be that from 140 to 150 MHz (or at least 142 to
150 MHz), transmit and receive, in order to support MARS operation.  CAP, OTOH,
jumped on the "homeland security" deep-end high-dollar current military state-of-art
NTIA equipment nonsense, for which no amateur equipment is satisfactory.  One can
forget about supporting CAP as many of us once did, between 10 to 50 years ago,
but MARS (as yet) has not been quite as consistently foolish.
