Can this radio be programmed with VHF frequencies 136-174mhz?

Yes, not a problem with software . If recommend CHIRP. Software programming that is free and will do a lot better job then the software it comes with. Side note: the knob can break off easily. Mine popped off after I bought it same day. You actually use the knob for Atleast two functions. One is you have to pull the knob. If you forget it's already pulled out and you pull again , it may break. I used super glue to fix the knob back in place, but after the functions with the knob didn't work very well. If you ever owned a Yaesu vx1, vx2, vx3, like I did -you may be disappointed. I returned mine the day after. Sorry:( just wanted to let you know. You may have better luck, so don't let me get you down! Yes, not a problem with software . If recommend CHIRP.

Yes it can, at 12.5KHz and 25KHz spacing. Better to use the programming cable and a third party program to do it.

2 parts to this answer......the radio is not Part 90 FCC Certified, so technically it's illegal to use on those frequencies. Will the radio key up VHF/UHF Commercial/Public Service Repeaters, yes it will with the right pl or ctcss tones. It's difficult to program by hand, but takes 15 seconds with the usb programming cable and CHIRP software which is free to download.

I don't see why it wouldn't, to my thinking as long as you can give it an open FM channel it should be ok. Don't take my word tho as I am by far not a qualified radio tech but this is just a thought . Maybe someone will kick off on my comment. Good luck .

Possibly.... but pretty sure you want a vhf marine radio.... check with a boating store that deals with ocen going sailcraft..... (a bit pricer.. but more to what your needs would be)

You must know the transmitting frequency of your radio. If it falls within beofang frequency parameters you should be able to use them

not sure the antenna connections are compatible. generally traditional boat use VHF's are 25 watts and these hand helds are only 5 watts. i would not buy this radio again

As a Coasty: No. The United States Coast Guard actively moniters Marine VHF on Channel 16 and 22A due to FCC regulations. The boats and shore units are capable of monitering other stations; however Channel 16 (156.8 mhz) is the international hailing and distress frequency and this is the channel you should have your radio set to in case of an emergency. These radios do not cover channel 16 or any marine-band radios.Please be safe, always have a life jacket for every person on a vessel and VHF marine radio as well as any and all other safety gear necessary for your chosen form of maritime travel.

Yes. You can program the radios in simplex mode. With the transmit and receive as the same frequency.

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.

These radios are pre-programmed to the 16 law enforcement frequencies which are illegal to transmit on. A list of these can be found on google.

no not with this radio, freq. are not the same. this is around 27 mhz. most police freq. now are around 800-900 mhz or some smaller towns are still on 150 mhz or 450 mhz

I am sorry, I have no idea what frequencies that would involve, All I know is that I was pleased that it would pick up both AM and FM here in our little enclave where I have to have a dish to receive both TV and the internetIt is also set up for short wave, I have picked up some Morse Code while I was scanning it's capabilitiesSorry I couldn't be of more help...Cold Flamingo

Yes. You should check the manual for the frequencies of those radios and then program these radios with them. These have the same frequency range.
1709604
Yes. You need either a GMRS license for the 462-467 frequencies, or a Ham (amateur radio) license for any of the other frequencies in the 70cm (420-450 MHz) band.

You will need the correct frequencies which can be found on the net at http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Marine or several other sites

I only own the UV-5R, not the GT-3, so I have not tested the abilities of the GT-3. But since both radios operate on the standard Amateur Radio VHF (136-174 MHz Rx/Tx) and UHF (400-480 MHz) frequencies, I am certain that these radios can talk to each other. The UV-5R appears to offer a greater range of frequencies, being programmable not only for the Amateur Radio frequencies, but for Business Band, Marine Band, and MURS frequencies as well. I do not know if the GT-3 can be programmed the same way.John Foote, KE7FDZ

No, you have to program matching frequencies in each radio. The uv5r is both uhf and vhf. The tyt is uhf only, so you will havr to program matching uhf frequencies.
