VHF radio? Are you a boater? I am but the GEMs are work vehicles. My marina uses Cushman tugs that are small enough to go out on the docks. Daniel ---

[quote=GEMmechanic;22583]VHF radio? Are you a boater? I am but the GEMs are work vehicles. My marina uses Cushman tugs that are small enough to go out on the docks. Daniel[/quote] Hey Daniel, No, it’s programmable from 146mgz through 174mgz. I bought it for fire rescue use, but it can be programmed for what ever business channel you have a licence for in the VHF band. (including marine) It will monitor up to 512 channels. I have a few of the police fire and sheriff freq programmed into it from the surrounding area for my listening pleasure. While it’s possible to talk on those channels, it would be a big no,no! 😃 When I sell my GEM, I’ll reduce the price if the buyer isn’t interested in the radio, GPS or light bar. ---
