Region 1 - UK 

While in the freq area - 70 Mhz - it’s set as 70.100  for FT8

However as this is not in the German allocation 99.9% of the FT8 4m activity is 
centred around 70.154. Also 70.100 is right on the boundary of the RSGB band 
Plan for ‘Personal Beacons’.

I see MSHV (which is popular over here due to the extra modes and is aimed more 
at 50Mhz and above) has 4m FT8 preset at 70.154. Googling 70.100 and 70.154 all 
the web pages  refer to 70.154 as FT8 freq - yes the odd proviso that varying 
countries have different allocations so may never have one freq that fits all 
on 70.

I would seem (IMHO) to have all the FT8 supported packages to have the same 
frequency to save confusion once the Es session starts up.

Yes I know any one can edit the frequency table but half the users don’t seem 
to know what the ‘Settings’ option actually does and where it is.

Hi Mike,

yes but only for the v2.0.0 beta testing, they should have been removed 
before GA. I have removed them for the next release. Thanks.

I guess it was deliberate to include the JT9 frequencies in the FT8 frequency
