Question: Weird question - can I listen to shortwave radio stations on this radio?
Document: Nice little radio to use as a scanner. Also nice to have something to listen to local radio stations as well.
Just go to YouTube and search for a programming video ( I can't link to it here for some reason)I've only had it for 2 weeks and I can already manipulate it in the dark without looking at the buttons, so I think the learning curve on this unit is pretty simple.And another plus is that it gets all the FM radio stations in your area! I use that to listen to music in the field.
A friend recommended it. It seem like a great little radio although I am still learning how to use all it's features. I like havingFM radio stations for news also.
My radio arrived today, a day earlier than expected. After unpacking and attaching the battery, by the way my battery was fully charged, I entered the frequency of a local 2 meter repeater. The off set and tone were much easier to set than I had anticipated based on other reviews. I gave a call and had 2 stations respond, both with very favorable comments on my transmit audio. I then tried to upload frequencies using my laptop, no go.
I bought this so I can listen to the guys at the nearby nuclear powerplant and hopefully get a few minutes advance notice on the eventual meltdown of the plant. Also to put on NOAA weather radio during storms because I find the robot voice comforting in times of crisis.
This radio is amazing for its price. I can't say any more than has already been said, but I will say this. In my area lots of entities still use old analog 2m -- it's nice to listen and get the lowdown on what's going on sometimes! I think I'll pick up another one of these a couple UV-3Rs (for the USB charging).
I saw this radio mentioned quite a bit on many forums and could not believe the radio you could get at this price. Certainly not the top end, but if you're looking to get into amateur radio this can get your foot in the door with little investment.Until I get my technician's license I can't transmit on this radio, but I can listen.
It works for picking up the local repeaters just fine. I wouldn't make it my primary radio by any stretch, and programming is somewhat of a pain, but for the price I don't see much room to complain. I've been using it to listen in on the local repeaters while I'm studying for my tech & general class licenses, and I figure it'll be a nice one to keep in the truck outside of that
This is my seconded ham radio & for the price can't go wrong. I am new in the amateur radio scene. My main goal is for communication during any type of disaster. Yes I do have a cell phone but when things like cell signals go off line I still communicate with my loves one with this type of device. I am working to get my license but for now I just listen in.
There are alot of reasons I like this radio. I like the light, great in a pinch. I like the fm radio to listen to. I like be able to listen to the police and firemen. BUT THE BIGGEST REASON I LIKE IT, IS BECAUSE I HAVE LOST 2 OF THEM NOW AND THEM ARE ONLY $40 bucks.
Answer: The UV-5R radio receives from 65-108 MHz FM, 136-174 MHz (VHF) & 408-480 MHz (UHF).  It will not receive 2 - 30 MHz HF signals.  So the short answer is No.  A KENWOOD TH-6FA will tune through the HF bands; however, its antennae (external and internal) are inefficient at HF frequencies, so you need to be near a strong HF station to hear its signal.
