One more comment about using your transceiver to call the railroad. It won’t work. Ham radios like this will transmit on ham radio frequencies only. They can receive railroad frequencies, but can’t transmit on them. If you look at the specs on the web page that was referenced, you’ll see that it can transmit from 144 to 148 MHz, which is the ham radio 2-meter band. It can receive from 140 to 174 MHz, which includes the railroad frequencies. <br /> <br />If you press the transmit button while on a railroad frequency, even accidentally, the radio will indicate that you made an error. <br />
