American vhf radio
Submitted by Gav475 on Thu, 2015-12-10 09:00
Have been given a near new vhf from an American import boat. Im pretty sure that when it was in his boat It was showing local florida channels. If I put it in my boat will it register our local stations or does it need to be re chipped / re programed.

My GME one lets me choose between 'International', 'Canada' or 'USA' channels. It should just be a setting that you can change in the menu.

Use the 'International' setting for here in Australia.
