I have to use a magnetic mounted anntenna on top my truck. The repeater is about 25 miles away from my house. I can hear but not transmit. It's a great radio I like mine.

The radio is useful in the car on 2-m. The 440 and 220 bands are more susceptible to being blocked by the metal, and, as the previous responder stated, it is best if you use it with an external antenna, like a magnetically mounted one. The advantage of the bulky car radios is that they will transmit at 2-m up to 45 watts as opposed to the 5 watts of this radio. I have been very happy with mine and use it primarily on a fiberglass boat, so I do not have many shielding problems and usually good line-of-site access to the repeaters.

Yes, it works anywhere in the world. But before using any Frequency , you need to check with your country to see if you can transmit within the selected frequencies range. As a matter of fact, if you login to this device, you can select you country and chose the associated frequencies that are allowable in your country. To this end, this is a universal device. let me know if you have further question.. Thanks

It will work anywhere. It's battery operated. If you buy be sure to test as described in the instructions. I received one defective unit.

Should be acceptable out of the pocket when there are heavy terestrial signals, it should work. Mostly it's not well indoors.And you need a car kit (includes the dock) of this product.

You can use it in the car, but there is no car adapter to plug it in there. Once it is charged in the house, it works fine in the car.

The unit is self contained and can be located anywhere so it should be compatible with any car. I believe it is only designed for ipods and iphones up to iphone 4 with the classic connector, and has one additional aux input for other mp3 players. Speakers (2 channel) are wired directly to the unit, but it also has red/white rca output cable as well. (Haven't hooked it up yet, so can't tell you how it sounds) Hope that helps!

It is a portable radio that is intended for use in your vehicle. It is a 12 volt radio , not a 120 volt home radio

Its useful if you want to hear news and programs from around the world. Its also a necessity for times of trouble, like wars and catastrophes. It also has FM that picks up far more stations than regular radios.

Hi Yubellys, you can use the Car Radio outside U.S. but Venezuela is not supported. -Vincent

Sure, you can move it from car to car or take it in the house and use it as a speakerphone. In fact, I've done that and it works good for that purpose. It just slides on the visor so it's easy to move.

I have this particular unit and it can be used in the car when you have the car adapter kit and external antenna. The only drawback is whether you have a cassette tape deck built in the car radio. You will need a cassette adapter connected to the XM unit and insert in the cassette player. You will be able to play and hear the radio in this way.

Hello Luis, The very good radio receiver/transmitter is bi volt. It's recharger is 110-220 volt so it works in any country. It even has a power source for 6 AA batteries if desired

Hello. This model may not fit in your vehicle. I would recommend visiting a local car audio shop to inquire about which radio might suit you best.

I am not sure about the distance range of transmitter. Could be available in technical specification of product. But definitely it has enough range as far as usage is in car.

I would assume it can be used in a car. As long as its charged you should be good to go. As long as you are connected via Bluetooth you can play anything on iPhone or iPad, etc.
