Frequencies in the VHF band in the U.S. have been assigned by the FCC with channel centers every 7.5 kHZ, which means that some of these frequencies are not evenly divisible by 5.0 kHz or 6.25 kHz. In order for a radio to be able to synthesize frequencies that are not evenly divisible by 5.0 kHz or 6.25 kHz, it requires a more sophisticated synthesizer and hardware than the one offered with this model. Consider upgrading to a digital radio for more coverage If you still need additional range, we suggest looking at a Motorola digital radio. Digital radios give you a ~20% range bump as well as ~40% battery life bump, and static free audio. Recommended digital alternatives Motorola CP100D | Motorola CP200D | Motorola SL300 | Motorola XPR 3300e Radio Depot can program existing CP185 radios to work with any of the above digital radios on analog channels.
