Info about cucv radios

[motormayhem]

So I know they used the RT524 or the Rt246, but what frequencies do these operate on. I am thinking about getting into ham radio and I am looking at different radios and was just wondering if these radios can be used for 2M transmission?

Thanks

30-75 mhz as I recall. So no 2 meter, that's 144-148mhz.

No 2m, but you can tune that antenna to run a regular CB...

6 meter ham, 50-54Mhz is what you would be using them for.

6m yuck

Yep, 6 meters, and not only that, but you can't use them with (assuming there are any in your area) a 6 meter repeater. So you are limited to talking on 6 meters to other green radios in other green vehicles. Nice for convoys and road trips, and keeping it real, but not much else.
