A friend of mine ran into the same issue with some UHF Fujitsus.
Couldn't get them below 450.000. He wound up changing the master reference
crystal. However, the results were not particularly useful as the channel
spacing was no longer exactly 5 kHz anymore and the five meg offset was
wrong.
But if you just want to use them for fixed, single channel use like for
linking then this may be an option for you.
Good luck,

Fujitsu Link Radio use

Hello all,
I'm trying to help a group set-up some old Fujitsu FTM40-3092 &
FTM15-3092 radios to use for link and control radios.
Wondering if anybody in the group might have any ideas on how to
program the radios for "Out-of-Band" operation (ie: Amateur range).
The radios will operate "RF-Wise" however the BIG problem is
programming. The Band Limits appear to be "Hard-Coded" into either the
Micro code, or the Programming Eprom used to program the radio.
I've already asked the question on other groups (Radio-Programming &
Fujitsu Radio) to no avail. Thought I would try hear as I know there
are a lot of Commercial people on this group that might have some
thoughts, hints, ideas, regarding these old, but great radios.
So, in a nut shell.....ANY input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
