The TYT9000 will transmit anywhere between 136-174 MHz. There is a transmit-disable function in the menus to prevent such unlicensed operations. Mine is set up to hear the local emergency services but not transmit on them. Also the weather channels, same way. If I were to be illegal, I could leave transmit enabled on the MURS & Marine channels. If I wanted to be illegal about it. Nils Young W8IJN

It does not have that band included. You will need to purchase another radio such as a police scanner which has that capability.

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.

We bought 8 of these to use while working a Festival which was mostly outdoors, we had one stationed in a metal building a block away and reception and transmission appeared the same. Hope that helps.

Good question--I don't think this BC-355C can comply w/the new FCC Banding. If you ever need a scanner..I sell them out of my apartment..my customers are mostly volunteer fire departments or volunteer firefighters. I am up in Ossining,NY just about 10 miles north of White Plains,NY Best of luck to you,buddy!

Depends on what band radar they use in your country. You can google which bands the police in your area use. But I do believe most radar is ka and k band. I know there few country that use x band and it covers all those well.

It's great but make sure if u buy it ,police frequncy in ny is fm & not wfm make sure to set it on setting no. 5 to narr

Be careful with this radio. If you inadvertently place an Emergency Service frequency on this radio and interfere with the Emergency Service channels by transmitting on those channels, they will report you and the FCC will track you down like a dog. Fines in the 5-figure area are not unusual.I noticed in the Chirp programming instructions that the Transmit Capability of each memory can be disabled. Safety First !

Hello, the band it works is 850/1900, but, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RJTV2E/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00 this is 900/2100 band :)

Hello John, This siren works on 433mhz. Thanks. www.FortressSecurityStore.com

police, fire/emergency, marine, air and more. which makes it a radio scanner not a police scanner(although it will monitor some police frequencies)

I think you mean VHF, yes you can. It's dual band, VHF: 136MHz-174MHz, UHF: 400MHz-480MHz (Rx/Tx). Hope that helps

most police, etc, are on UHF or vhf not covered by these kinds of receivers. you need to research the broadcasts you are interested in (there are books and web sites for that) and then buy a radio made for those bands, more than likely a scanner. good luck. there are lots of interesting things on the bands this radio covers.

My husband has a paper with frequency codes he would use. Or look in your manual for codes. Each state has different codes. Try police scanner codes.com for your area.

Many police signals/broadcasts are now digital, so the analog scanners will do no good for that type signal. Some local PDs still might run some broadcasting on analog, bit most state police, atf, etc are digital. Google "radio reference", get to their different forums for the state you live in.I'm thinking about getting the 750 myself. Did you wind up keeping it? It seems to be good for Ham radio listening.

It has the ability to pickup a small range of frequencies that police agencies use. This scanner picks up 450-470 MHz. Some agencies use this while others opt to use the 150-160 MHz range. If there is one particular agency that you are trying to monitor, check and see if they fall in the 450-470 MHz range. If so, this will work for you.

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.
