This is a great radio for its price range, but unfortunately I can not program the radio using CHIRP software to listen in on police, fire and EMS even though the radio frequency range is 400-520.99Mhz on UHF band. Other than that this radio is easy to program and has many features to use.

It would be nice to be able to program the same frequency repeatedly with different CTCSS or DTC codes. In my area there are numerious repeaters on the same frequency utilizing different tones. It is very difficult to reprogram the radio each time you want to change repeaters especially while driving. A dedicated progarmming software should be developed which simplifies the programming process for persons with minimal radio repeater knowledge.\
Otherwise it is a good radio performs well and provides good receive and Transmit audio.
