I'm sorry that I do not have an answer to your question. We are so disappointed with the entire radio that we have not explored it's options.

It says it is, but I don't believe it. There's all sorts of station interference, fading and station overlap. The radio isn't worth buying for a dollar. Get something else. I have Sansas and the FM capability is excellent.

Radio signal's travel at the speed of light. So any delay is in it being processed due to low signal strength.Distance is almost irrelevant in some regards though.

No, and as far as i know there is no plan for that in the future as they run on completely different types of firmware. These radios are just like other vendors radios where they are managed directly on the device though a WebGUI.

Yes. They seem to be the same set frequencies (16 channels). Amazon also lists a 4 pack of these radios.

No you need to put the batteries and remove the clear plastic piece from the battery compartment to expose the contact between the battery and the radio. All radios must use the same frequency

yes,there are many FM stations in Spain and Europe you can listen to on this unit!

Well, it depends on who you ask. The radio's ability to be imported into the U.S. is based primarily on it being Part 90 accepted by the F.C.C. as a commercial business band radio. The radio's ability to transmit over a very wide range of VHF and UHF frequencies, however, means that it's perfectly capable of being used by hams on either 2m or 70cm, plus it does have the capability to receive NOAA Weather, NASCAR, etc., etc. as well. It also has the ability (although some users find it confusing) to monitor two pre-programmed frequencies while also listening to your local FM commercial radio station.

I am not sure, but when I bought these I saw 3 radios been selling togheter.

Yes, we have many radios set to the same channel even from differant manufactures.

I'm not sure. You may want to check the bands and frequencies used in India.

Yes. You can program the radios in simplex mode. With the transmit and receive as the same frequency.

I have not been to Europe since I purchased the Sangean Radio, so I don't know the answer to your question.
565133
The answer to both your questions is most likely YES, assuming your radios are capable of FM reception.

Yes, they can be used as a walkie talkie, BUT they are not able to use the Citizen Band Frequencies if that is what you mean. These radios transmit on the Amateur Radio (HAM) bands VHF and UHF as well as the GMRS bands. Most of these frequencies require an FCC Amateur Radio License excepting the frequencies 8 - 14 on the GMRS band. In summary if you want a small radio set that does not require an FCC license you can get something less complicated and easier to use, Try the Midland LTX118 or a set of CB radios.

Of course. But remember you will have to program them with frequencies you are authorized to use. Out of the box they have some frequencies set that it would be a bad idea for you to start transmitting on.
