can the radio pick up European frequencies? The European tuning uses intervals of .05 MHz compared to the US tuning interval of .2 MHz

I have used the SENA 20S in Europe and it works just fine. Reception is not great in the countryside by city riding works good with the radio. It is Simple to preset the channels and it have RDS functionality but I have not tested it. Overall I am very pleased with this headset!

Thank you for your question. This item as listed by Sena will work in different countries and has a built in RDS AF (Radio Data System Alternative Frequencies) here is a link to the Sena website so you can view a full list of the specifications. http://www.sena.com/promo/20s#EnjoyTheRide

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

This is a CB radio. CB radios do not use frequencies like that. They literally just use channels #1-40

Yes it does. Do the following per the manual. Change AM (MW) band tuning step: In Europe and other parts of the world, AM (MW) tuning step are 9 kHz, in America the AM tuning step is 10 kHz. To change the AM tuning step from 10 kHz to 9 kHz, proceed as follows: 1. Press Tuning Down button and hold meanwhile press the Power button and hold. 2. Until the display shows SEP 9 then shows 522. 3. The AM frequency step is 9kHz now. To change the AM tuning step from 9 kHz to 10 kHz, proceed as follows, 1. Press Tuning UP button then Power button and hold meanwhile press the Power button and hold. 2. Until the display shows SEP 10 then shows 520. 3. The AM frequency step is 10kHz now. Specification FM: 87.5 - 108.0 MHz,step 100k AM: 522 - 1629 kHz,step 9k 520 - 1710 kHz,step 10k WX: USA 1-7ch with alert

By Michael Paradis "Diceman" (St. Louis, MO USA) On the FM transmitter box, push the middle button (Function) and then press and hold the "Mode" button (the right one) for approximately 10 seconds. When you let go you will see a menu for "Us" "Eu" "Ja", select the middle button, "Eu". Let the device sit for a few seconds until it goes back to the main screen, then tune your radio and the transmitter to 87.7 - 87.9! Now you can use the device on the frequencies that will rarely give you interference.

Hello, no problem, this device has two button for change frequency from 87.5 to 108.0 MHz.only you have to find a "no used" frequency.its so easy!

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

No, CBs operate around 27Mhz (11m band) while GMRS/FRS radios such as these operate at about 462MHz (70cm band). The numbers on the display are more just a mnemonic or convenient 'symbol' for the actual frequency. On a ham radio walkie talkie (HT), the user can assign displayed numbers (memory presets) to whatever frequencies they like. Hope this helps someone!

By "local AM radio stations", you're probably referring to broadcast AM radio. That's far below the frequency range of the receiver if you follow the manufacturer's specs, however RTL-SDR has links to articles that demonstrate either software or hardware mods, or the use of an upconverter, to tune lower than that range. Other AM signals you CAN tune to are found in the US aircraft band, 118-138Mhz. There's even software to allow you to track airplanes overhead (search for RTL SDR ACARS).

You are liekly to have an issue with the tuner, too. It may not pick up foreign stations. Check with your intended location.

US version with a reduced range of frequencies compared to the international version

I suspect that the difference is not just the voltage and frequency of the mains supply but also the compatibility of the FM frequency bands. North American FM broadcast channels are on the odd 200KHz frequencies: e.g., 99.5MHz, 100.1MHz. You might want to check whether there is compatibility on that front between the US and Australian FM broadcast channels.

Radio beeps when battery needs replacement. Battery life may be about 15 to 25 hours; Beware it only tunes European AM stations (9 mHz spacing - not 10 mHz as in US)

No, if you use the FRS or GMRS band channels. Check google for the corresponding channels to frequencies, just google frs or gmrs channel frequency list.

This antenna tunes the standard CB frequency range, 26.965 mhz to 27.405 mhz. You can tune it up into the 10 meter band, but as you shorten the antenna element, the bandwidth is reduced, the impedance moves away from the ideal 50 ohms, and the efficiency drops. Shortened CB antennas like this one are designed for short-range communication, (a few miles) so don't expect much range. While Wilson says it can be used on 10 meters, it's not going to work out very well for you.

I don't think so. Those frequencies and mode are not of interest to me so I really don't know. If there is a test I can run to establish the capability, please tell me and I'll run it for you.
