Good question. I know the CB portion will work. It is one of the best I have ever had and very easy to tune, but as far as the AM and FM bands, I don't know. I am pretty sure you have two coax cables coming out of your radio. One for the standard radio and one for the CB. I probably did not help you.

Yes, but they do not stay set. As soon as the radio is unplugged from ac or batteries die the presets are lost. And they are very hard to reprogram.

don't know the answer to that, however--look to see if there are 4 small holes around the radio knobs. it should work if the holes are visible

While Baofeng radios can be programmed via the key pad, they do not program like the normal amateur radio HT would. They are difficult, at best, to program manually. The cable hooks from the radio to a PC. you program the radio with the PC. MUCH better! There is lots of freeware out there that works great. One that comes to mind is Chirp. Get the cable, it's worth it.

You can program manually, it is a pain, but if only doing a few channels should not take too long.

Yes you shoul be able to program them yourself . The kit comes with a website to go to that will walk you threw the process. It is very simple

You need to use the specific software that is made for this radio. The problem is that the software that comes with it is not the right software. The other problem is that the drivers and software will not work with anything above Windows XP! You need to map a COMM port to a USB port. When you do so, it locks up all your USB ports and disables them. I remember having this exact same problem when we had to start using USB to serial converters to program CISCO routers. It locked them all up. I found this radio useless and un-programmable and have since gone back to using my Yaesu VX-7R. This radio now serves as a great paper-weight.

It will work if you program them together at the same time. I did this with both of my remote. Had to press down on both remotes at the same time when programming to same frequency. Hopes this help!

Yes. I didn't need it to program tho. Just use cable. Radio. And free programming software

Don't know, Ended up programming mine manually. Easy once you figure it out. I have 27 local 2 meter repeaters, 20 70 cm repeaters, 3 wx channels, 14 frs,5 urs channels in mine with plenty of room for more. It is actually easier to program than my Kenwood TR 7950. I'm going to get a couple more and I will program them off my laptop.

Yes. But you might need the assistance of a ham radio operator if you are not familiar with programming radios.Chirp is a software package. You do not need it if you are just programming a couple of channels.

We had no trouble programming them. We set them all to the same channel. They are loud and clear - much better than our previous ones. I couldn't tell you as we only use them on our school campus which isn't very large.

Sure. Just connect the antenna cable to the input, scan for and program the channels, and you're good to go.

No programming at all. Turn them on, set both radios on the same channel and they work PERFECT. I hope this helps.

Of course. But remember you will have to program them with frequencies you are authorized to use. Out of the box they have some frequencies set that it would be a bad idea for you to start transmitting on.

Yes. All you have to do is match up the toggle settings (they control frequency) in your remote ( I believe there are 8) and copy the toggle settings in the Multicode receiver. They must be the same to work.
