I recently went to a hamfest and sold my old Kenwood TM-241a and bought a Yaesu FT-1500M . All I can say is programming a Kenwood is sure different than programming a Yaesu.

It is supposed to have a broadband receiver so I can use it to monitor my EMS/Fire dispatch frequency. But it won't tune above 147.995. How do I get the extended receive to work? Is there a programming step I am missing? Or is it a possibility I have European model? If so how do I confirm it?

Check the jumpers (Jp1001-1004) near the microprocessor.

On the regular, unmodified, US model, I believe that 1 and 4 should be in and 2 and 3 open. Not sure about 5 and 6. For more info check the MARS/Cap modification info on the mods.dk website.
