Does this radio cover aircraft frequencies?

Not to my knowledge, it does not receive CB, weather emergence broadcast, or police broadcast. It does do an excellent job with FM, AM (mid-range). Its short wave capability depends on area or location. It has a micro chip that scans the bands so you can listen to what is available in the region or country. This is a nice feature if you are traveling and do not know the stations in that location very well. I have found it to be an excellent radio for the price but like all recent radio's nowadays you must spend some time with the instructions. Hope this helps you.

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

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

No they don't. These radios cover the FRS/GMRS ("Family Radio Service" / "General Mobile Radio Service") whose frequencies are in the UHF band, around 460Mhz; additionally these units use FM modulation. CB ("Citizen's Band") is in the high HF band, around 26Mhz, and use AM modulation. As you can see, they are totally incompatible by both band and modulation.

Remember that aircraft frequencies are VHF, which means that they operate on line-of-sight. What you can hear will depend on your local geography. I live 6-7 miles south of IAD and can hear all frequencies at the airport. I work about ten miles north of DCA and cannot hear any frequencies at the airport, but, I can hear all transmissions from arriving and departing aircraft (remember line-of-sight) as long as they are above the horizon. I do like the radio and use it as a backup when flying light sport.

You cannot. You set in the menu a specific NOAA frequency number (it doesn't list the frequencies, just assigns them a memory number) and if there's an alert, the radio will let you know.

it does, but some channels don't come in at times. if you live close to the airport you won't have great reception.

This is a great little radio that has RX coverage from roughly .5MHz to 1GHz for AM, FM and WFM modes. It only has TX coverage on the 2M, 1.25M and 70cm. It can scan on a list of present bands, or ones that you program into the radio. You don't need a computer to program the radio, but it does make it easier if you have a lot of freqs to put in. If you want to listen to Ham, Aircraft, weather, publicworks and commercial bands, then this radio will work. Most Police and Fire departments are upgrading to encrypted mode systems. This radio will not work for those systems.

I've looked at the unit itself. No frequency listing is published anywhere on it. Could be 900 Mhz, could be 2.4 Ghz, no way to know.

It does. But it has a very sensitive tuning dial. And as with most shortwave the time of day and weather conditions make a big difference in what you can tune in. Bought it for my don to use for Boy Scouts Radio Merit Badge.

Not that I know of. I don't think it has a radio feature. At least I haven't seen it.

As far as I know, the unit only has 2.4 GHz radio frequency. I have not had problems with it.

Although I have not used it to scan police frequencies, the range of this radio does cover the150 and 450 MHz bands that are commonly used. Municipalities are often using other methods rather than FM for communications these days.

No. It only came with the transmitter. Depending in the type of aircraft you are flying choose accordingly that your reciever is compatible with the transmitter.

No. This radio does not transmit on the GMRS frequencies, it only receives on those frequencies. Given the ease of passing the test, low fee($15 for ten years as opposed to $99/year), and the great amateur radio community why don't you try for your license?

Yes it does. My area police and fire use the same frequencies and I have no problem with picking them up.

It is a basic radio system, up to 4 channels,, i have this radio and i've never had any problem,, this radio is perfect for "micro" airplanes or trainers up to 4 channels.
