## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this pick up cb channels as well?**
A: CB channels are all in 11 Meter band  (26.965 to 27.405 MHz frequencies).   The VX-6R can recieve in these frequencies, but not transmit.   Reception is relatively poor with the factory antenna, but you can remove the factory antenna and connect the unit to a standard CB antenna to enhance reception signal strength and clarity.   The radio can also recieve, AM, FM, HF, marine, aircraft and police bands.   It will not transmit on those bands.  This radio only transmits on portions of the 2 meter, 1.25 meter, and 70 centimeter bands.   You must have an amateur radio license (not a CB  or FRS/GMRS license) to transmit on this radio.

**Q: can it really receive and transmit on all of those bands?**
A: The VX-6R can receive on a much broader range of frequencies than the stated transmit bands RECIEVE: 0.5 - 1.8 MHz (BC Band),1.8 - 30 MHz (SW Band),30 - 76 (59) MHz (50 MHz HAM Band), 76 (59) - 108 MHz (FM Band),108 - 137 MHz (Air Band),137 - 174 MHz (144 MHz HAM Band), 174 - 222 MHz (VHF TV Band),222 - 420 MHz (222 MHz HAM Band), 420 - 470 MHz (430 MHz HAM Band), 470 - 800 (729) MHz (UHF TV Band), (758 - 774) MHz (UHF TV Band),803 - 998.990 MHz (Information Band) (USA: Cellular Blocked)TRANSMIT: 2M, 1.25M, 70cm BandsTX Frequencies: 144 - 146 (148) MHz, (222 - 225 MHz),430 - 440 (450) MHz,.

**Q: Does this have the ability to act as a scanner?**
A: This is a great little radio that has RX coverage from roughly .5MHz to 1GHz for AM, FM and WFM modes. It only has TX coverage on the 2M, 1.25M and 70cm. It can scan on a list of present bands, or ones that you program into the radio. You don't need a computer to program the radio, but it does make it easier if you have a lot of freqs to put in. If you want to listen to Ham, Aircraft, weather, publicworks and commercial bands, then this radio will work. Most Police and Fire departments are upgrading to encrypted mode systems. This radio will not work for those systems.

**Q: this is useful in the car? it can work in any country? what distance? it can be a substitute for bulky car radio?**
A: The radio is useful in the car on 2-m.  The 440 and 220 bands are more susceptible to being blocked by the metal, and, as the previous responder stated, it is best if you use it with an external antenna, like a magnetically mounted one.  The advantage of the bulky car radios is that they will transmit at 2-m up to 45 watts as opposed to the 5 watts of this radio.  I have been very happy with mine and use it primarily on a fiberglass boat, so I do not have many shielding problems and usually good line-of-site access to the repeaters.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product

Good product

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ And for the love of who ever that it is that you worship
*by A***N on December 4, 2015*

About the size of a pack of cigarettes, overly well built, and with the Commet SMA-24 antenna, it becomes the untimate emergency/bug out bag radio. Highly recomend the emergency "AA" battery packs, the black high capacity Panasonic Eneloop AA rechargeable batteries(Nickel Metal Hydride), and solar charger for AA batteries. Also invest in the 12 volt power adapter by Yaesu, and if you really want to let your hair down, the drop in charger for lithium battery packs.(about $80 for the drop in charger) The white Panasonic Eneloop rechargeable batteries can be recharged 2100 times verses 500 times for the high cap black ones, but the white ones will give you less run time as they are standard cap. And for the love of who ever that it is that you worship, DO NOT use a cheap AC to DC 12 volt power inverter to run your electronics with.(laptop, cell phone, HAM RADIO,...ect.) Cheap power inverters do not produce a pure sine wave and will eventually destroy your electronics. They are only good for recharging batteries and battery packs, running a fan, and other devices that don't contain intergrated circuits in them. Otherwise a real power inverter that does produce a pure sine wave usually costs $200 or more for the same wattage output as the bargin power inverter.
