No the 800mhz radio cannot be programmed for VHF.
To answer your question about a link to the tyt radio, look at something like this
Ham Radio UHF/VHF 45 / 60W 200CHTH9000 For TYT Radio New Black Single band | eBay
Edit... For the cost and dramas it would be better to go with one of the TYT mobile radios off eBay with nearly twice the output of the MCS and half the cost and it is also self programmable with open TX
Have a look at the batlabs web site for info
Batwing Laboratories
You can get ribless cables off eBay, the rss can be hard to come by. Just join a yahoo group for that radio and they will point you in the right direction
To bad you guys have such low octane fuel over there. 91 octane is our $hit fuel,
Over here in aus our fuel ratings are (91,94"E10",95,98) and at some fuel station you can get 100RON but it is rare for pump fuel. The comment made about retarding ignition timeing to gain more power is false. The...
Hey VK1
There is a trade off in performance with wide band ham radios. I have an alinco dr435 which does 400-490 but it is deaf at 477 and only puts out 17w of its rated 35w at that frequency. It is way better to have a dedicated radio for 477 chook band. Look around for an old commercial radio...

MRF-150 is designed for 125V @ 16A draw.
I know that your nominated supply voltage over there is 110V but what is the current rating of your standard power outlet?. you may need to upsize that power circuit or run a larger capacity circuit just for the amp. could be a costly exercise
Neither.
My choice would be to look for a second hand FT2000.
I have seen some good ft's on eBay of late at a good $. You will appreciate the far superior rx of a ft2000 then any of the rigs that you have posted in the poll
From a quick google search, the b4 seems to be the same as the c4.
I could be wrong. There is one opperator I know with a c4 and it sounds real good on the air however I am not sure how stable it is for drift on ssb
Ok just did some tubing on shockwave, not bad for a jet turbine job. Just thought that I would chuck in a mention of the bandag as it is diesel powered. It just has flame throwers from the turbine side of each of the quad turbos. Love anything sporting huge horse power
My mate had an SR8
It did have an issue when the agc was set to slow and the radio would create a sqeal/fart sound on tx (only whilst keying up ssb) in the presence of any signal over s1 (typical of 11m). He sent it back and got a replacement which had the same fault. He ended up giving it the...
