Can this transceiver receive and/or transmit on aviation frequenicies (such as 118.000 in my area). I'd like to be able to use it as an avionics bckup

Can Receive on 118.00 but not transmit. VX-8DR is programmed to transmit on Amateur Radio authorized frequencies only.

It can absolutely receive those frequencies. I'm not sure exactly what you'd hear, but you would hear something. Try changing the modulation between FM and AM if it doesn't work at first.

The V911 protocol changed several times when it was introduced. I had to try several transmitter before I found on that worked with my helicopter.

This is a full range receiver. i have it in several planes and they work just fine.

You will have to purchase the correct programming cable and use a computer to program the transceiver to the radio frequencies you wish to monitor/transmit on. This is a ~400-500MHz UHF only radio and it may not be capable of receiving police transmissions in your area.

It is a analog radio and will not decode digital transmissions. It is designed as a Ham Radio / commercial FM Tranceiver. It can receive a wide range of frequencies but it is analog not digital.

Glad u asked pal, hands down, your best option is Fly Sky GT3C 2.4ghz transmitter / receiverafter seeing a bunch of guys w them at my local track i researched them a TON, and absolutely love mine. has an endless amounts of adjustments ect on the trans, plus u can program multiple models to all run on this transmitter, AND it has a lithium battery that recharches via USB off any device u have, and the extra receivers are only $7, trust me u will not regret it, soooo much for your money , around $50

I fly a plane that has 55 inch wing span - never ran out of range. I believe it is actually the transmitter that will determine range not reciever

I did a limited amount of research to find out what frequencies these units use and found nothing. I would expect that if you were using two Maverick Et732's within 300 feet of each other, that you will receive interference from one or the other. They are all obviously on the same frequency with no way to switch to a different freq. So if you have to use two units, I would see if I could figure out what the freq is on the 732, then purchase the other unit that is on a different frequency.

Yes.......You will need to download frequencies from uniden to your computer then to your receiver. Once completed the unit does the rest for you.

The answer is no. The reason why, is that this radio operates on the VHF/UHF frequencies. These are line of sight (FM) frequencies. They are very very good for short distances between two or more radios. On the amateur frequencies, there are repeaters that can receive the transmission from one of these radios, and using it's location re-transmit the signal and send it many more miles.For communicating with Hams in other countries, you need an HF (low band) radio that operates at much lower frequencies, from 10 meters to160 meters.Ken P.

Frequency Coverage Tx 118.000-136.975 MHz Rx 108.000-136.975 MHz Weather 161.650-163.275 MHz Hope this answers your question. Will you be using it for flying? I have some questions about flying in Australia if so. Cheers.

EK's answer is very close to correct. The -3dB rolloff point is 100kHz. Frequencies lower than this are possible to receive, but sensitivity will become lower as the frequency gets lower.

The range is not specified by the manufacturer. It is line of site. If the aircraft is in view (within reason) you should have no problems. If the plane flies behind a tree, or building, the signal is lost. I hope this helps, Thanks for your inquiry. Regards, Dave, Hobby Zone

I have used a dual band radio and transmitted between 144-146 MHz (2 meter band) and 430-440 MHz (70 centimeter band). I hit the repeaters without any problems and with full quieting. I have it on a Baofeng UV-5RE Plus and it works quit well. Hopefully this answers your questions.Fred

As far as I recall, the transceiver is not RF based so I don't think that you will have problems.

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.
