FM only as i remember. But there are rx convertors made by datong, try looking for datong on the web. GL |

Yaesu VX-7R handheld radio receives .05-999 Mhz and transmits
2m/440/6m/220 - best radio for travel I have ever owned. Even gets shortwave broadcast (ok) and AM/FM radio and TV simulcast. But, CB band (11 meters) is RECEIVE only, you cannot transmit. Here are the specs and a pic - http://www.rigpix.com/yaesu/vx7r.htm JD "jazu" nospam wrote in message ... Hi I know nothing about CB.
