Thanks everybody. I probably don't need these LMR frequences, so let it be.
Not a bad radio, even without those LMR. My Icom M1V here in Vancouver
apartment could only pick 3 Canadian weather channels, this one has USCG
channel 4 sometimes clearer than our CCG :-), though urban interference
noises seem to be louder too. More sensitive circuit, probably.
And only now I've noticed that Icom M72 is much more powerful Tx than other
handheld VHF - 6 watts.  Longer casing than M88 (that's why I didn't
bother); TAD thinner, though.
