Can this HAM radio communicate worldwide with HAM operators in other countries?

only if you visit their countries and get a reciprocal license to operate there. Otherwise it would have to be thru a link established via a repeater that hasEcholink which connects thru Voice over IP.

The answer to this question has more to do with frequency than with power. This radio operates at the higher frequencies in the 2m and 70cm bands. Sometimes you can find long distance openings on 6m, but rarely if ever on 2m. This radio will be good for talking on local repeaters, especially if you get a decent antenna on it. If you are on a repeater that is linked through Echolink (through the internet) to a repeater in another country, then you can talk long distance. But the internet is covering the distance in that case, not the radio.

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.

A properly licensed ham, with a current license of the class that is required for this type of operation may do so. You would need to be a valid member of a repeater or repeater system that has worldwide coverage capabilities. There are several specialized ways of doing so. Last week I worked and made contact with guys in the British Isles, Italy and New Zealand on my BF-F8+ using our local 70cm linked repeater.

if you get close enough to them. this radio does not have the power to bounce signals around the globe. that would be a 50 watt or bigger unit.

As you see there are many differing answers to this question, all of them wrong in some areas and right in others. You really need to get your FCC Amateur Radio Operator's License and explore. The short answer is yes, but there are a number of different ways and requirements. There isn't enough room here to cover this subject completely.

Yes it does. I have purchased both the US/CA and World versions without any issue in my location in Barbados.The World version allows you to select your region, or code, whereas the US/CA version only allows you to select US/CA.The main reason for this is so that unauthorized frequencies which international/world versions may have, cannot be selected (for FCC compliance). The frequency of the World versions are unlocked.

As long as you have company service like att or boost etc. yes you can use it all around the world. You shouldn't have any problem. I live in Puerto Rico and I took mines to arizona , Pennsylvania and New Jersey and it worked fine

Yes, I'm from venezuela and i'm right now operating with movistar. You can also operate around the world with others cell phone companies.

I don't see why it wouldn't I used mine in Europe, Middle East , and the US. I would change SIM cards when going to other countries

Hi, I'm sorry I cannot remember the ranges, but I know that US equipped radios work in all other countries, both for Comm as well as VOR's. There may be local frequency ranges that are specific to a country, but any ICAO airport would have to use the same frequencies. If you have foreflight you can look at basic airport info, as well as the main freq's and they are frequencies that the handheld would tune to.So, I feel confident in saying that the handheld will work with all aviation frequencies in Oz.

Yes. Mine is being used outside the USA with a sim from a different operator.

Yes it can work in any country around the world if it's unlocked, mine did work outside the U.S.A

Yes, mine worked just fine in the UK and France. Go to Settings, Network, Network mode and you can select Automatic or specifically pick the bands.

I don't know. USA sim card/phone will work in other countries base on your wireless plan.
786634
Yes it will, however as a licensed ham operator you must remain within your operating privileged bandwidths. I utilize mine for murs and marine frequencies also as they require no license.
499931
Yes an amateur radio license is required to transmit with this unit on the ham bands. I don't think it is FCC approved for use on other bands

It's for Us Cellular phone services. So no it's not for any operator in the world

yes you can use this worldwide under the Verizon wireless network only it can be used In Over 200 Countries Including Gsm Networks! I will expidite ship this item to you if you decide to buy Jojo Compre con confianza le da las gracias tener un bendiga y jojo increíble día

Technically yes, the product will work outside of the U.S. There may be regulatory concerns that require permits to install/operate the device, especially outdoors. Many middle eastern countries have heavily regulated communications and because this qualifies as a telecomm equipment it may fall under those regulations. I have personally operated with success the Nanostation M2/M5 and Picostation 5/2HP/M2 devices, purchased in the US in the UAE, Israel, Turkey and much of Europe.

If it is unlocked then yes you should be able to use it outside of the US! I use mine in Costa Rica and it works Great!

Yes on the ham bands. It broadcasts in the FRS bands, but to use it those frequencies would be illegal because it is FCC accepted for commercial use not recreational use.
