Question: Is it possible to communicate with maritime vhf radios?
Document: One of my hunting partners is about 3 hillsides and valleys away from me totaling around a solid mile. It not much distance, but the terrain makes it difficult to communicate via radio. With FRS I could never talk to him. I'd be lucky to even have him break the carrier squelch on the FRS radios. We would always have to relay messages via another one of our buddies who was in a good spot to hear both of us on FRS.
thanks for the uv-b5 vhf uhf its ok
I bought this for my son-in-law, as he is a volunteer fireman in his rural area. He says it works very well and will be used to communicate amongst fire crew on scene. He had done some research, before I bought it, and said this was the model for him and that his colleges liked this specific model.
I purchased this lil wonder because of a thread on [...] its all ArJedi's fault. I had my HAM buddy check it out and he was impressed. I can easily communicate with repeaters 30 plus miles away over open terrain. I programmed it easily using a 3rd party cable purchased at the same time. Im listenig to local police frequencies right now. Throw the manual away, its barely english. Just play with it and you will figure it out.
We ordered 3 of these radios and my husband really likes them. They are very easy to use and operate.
This is my second Baofeng, I was very impressed by the UV5-RA that I wanted to get another one. I chose the UV-B5 because of the channel selector knob, which is very convenient especially when wearing gloves. Good performance, comparable to radios 3 times it's price.
I bought in at an increibly low price, and the price is so low I've purchased several as gifts for my local ham buddies. I'm looking at a beefier base station, and may try to set this critter up for cross-band repeat if possible.
Well, the PTT on one of the radios is a bit touchy. If you don't hold it down with a solid push, the transmit will cut in and out. Its not a huge problem but just something you have to be mindful of when you key up the radio. The other little flaw is that on the other radio, the middle tuning knob is slightly bent causing it to stick and become harder to turn every half turn.
I bought two of these to try during deer season here in the back hills of central Missouri. For years we have used the cheap wally world FRS radios that barely work unless you are sitting smack next to each other. Knowing a thing or two about radios, I wanted to get a set of these to try on the MURS frequencies.
**disclaimer**Though, my use of these radios on MURS and FRS is not technically legal and I do not believe the FCC is going to track me down and arrest me for that usage, I am not suggesting that you can get one of these radios and use them on any VHF or UHF frequency you want. Be smart about it, the last thing you want to do is start blabbing your mouth on the local police frequency.
Answer: Yes it can communicate in the same frequency band (156-157MHZ).  HOWEVER, be advised it contains no circuitry to provide of automatic switching to emergency channels and is NOT water proof, (non-submersible) nor even weather resistant.  Also it does not have any type of geolocate ID/ALI sending feature.  In a pinch when a vessel is in distress I certainly wouldn't want a splash of water taking out my only means of survival safety.
