does it have a aviation band and if so, how does it perform?

I don't think it does. The short wave isn't that great unless you get am antenna booster. But for it's size, it is pretty powerful. I use it everywhere I go and I haven't heard any aviation signals come in. And I live right next to PDX. Good luck.

Hello, I really don't know what kind of band services do you have in Dominican Republic. Please ask your services provider.The phone is very good. Best regards,

The short answer is "no". The aviation band is for AM and this radio is FM. Even if you could trick the radio into using those frequencies, you could not communicate with other pilots and ground stations. A more complete answer is that this is a "software defined radio" and if Baofeng really wanted to add that to the software, they probably could.

Remember, the 108-136MHz aircraft band is "line of sight" like other VHF frequencies. You will almost always hear aircraft better than the ground/tower at the airport. Just imagine having an antenna five miles high (altitude of a commercial jet airliner) vs 50 or 100 feet high at the airport tower.

This unit does not receive 108 - 136 mhz band but it does receive shortwave air bands which are used to travel long distances .

They have channels a and b... I wouldn't go with this one though, my son got one for Christmas and it never flew. Returned and got nothing back for it, no money back no replacement and it was clearly a fault with the radio talking to the helicopter.

Yes it works great on those bands as well, I used it this past weekend on a trip to GA. and it worked great, I heard and saw them all in time, great product, hope this helps

Not really. When I first got it, it more or less came back to me from one side of the living room to the other but outside and especially as the battery drains and it get further away, the feature doesn't work. After a few crashes, doesn't work at all. That said it's other features for fly-ability are pretty good especially outside in the wind. The 400 dollar variety is the cheapest one I've seen with true return to pilot but it is GPS based.

I went through one the other day at an airport wearing the band as well as the watch and the metal detector did not alert, so I was glad about that!

i just got mine and no it does not. I ordered it specifically for air travel. If someone can tell me where to purchase one much appreciated.

I love the radio but I must admit the bands are not lined up just right play with the bands on either side of the weather band it should pick up. I do not use the weather band but I will and do a follow up on this.

I have not tried to use the weather band --- but I do know that the AM & FM work just fine on the battery or the crank.

These are MHz radio controlled look on the back of the controller it should have a sticker that states the band it will be like 27/MHz or 49.860/MHz ect.. as long as the Band is not the same they will fly together. When you are looking read the add it may say what Band some do some don't. The heli's and planes with the 2.4ghz controllers are the best they will bind with one another and you can fly 10 or more together. And the 2.4ghz just work much better like the syma S032 is MHz Band and the new S32 is the 2.4ghz the same heli not the same controller the control is much better with the 2.4ghz.

Yes in pretty sure. And the band even works with most machines at the gym. Like the bicycles, elliptical and some stairmasters.

No. This device uses WiMax on a high frequency band that will not work properly on a plane.

Yes it does! The plane as all electronics built in but, you will need a transmitter.

spec states it is quad band. did not go overseas yet to try it out yet. hope this helps.
