User questions & answers

Question:	Does it transmit gps when transmitting a mayday
Answer:	No, this is not a GPS equipped unit. You'll have to spend significantly more for that capability.
Question:	When will you ship my order
Answer:	They shipped my order to NZ within a few days
Question:	Can the Atlantis 155 be recharged with an optional or universal AC charger
Answer:	The unit I purchased included a 120v AC adapter. If using a universal type AC charger, make sure to pay attention to the voltage/amperage/polarity requirements as you can destroy electronics very easily if using the wrong type. This information can be found in the included manual. We really like this radio for what it is, but do not expect a $500 radio at this price.
Question:	Want to connect the handheld to my mast antenna that has PL259 Is the antenna on the 155 removable and what type of connection is it
Answer:	Kids have it at beech house might not see it for weeks

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this radio as a scanner to listen to great lake freighter radio traffic
Answer:	Yes, but if you only want to listen to voice traffic, a cheaper VHF, without DSC and GPS, will also work fine. Most are about $100 cheaper. This radio is suitable for recreational vessels involved in racing and coastal cruising.
Question:	is this pair of radios? (2 radios for
Answer:	Nope, it is a single radio. The two-way designation means it both receives and transmits, as apposed to, say, your car radio, which only receives.
Question:	how far off shore will this radio work
Answer:	Dennis, I have only used it in local waters but believe this VHF will work 15 to 20 miles away. If you go off shore (15 to 50 miles) you should rely on a VHF with large antenna etc.
Question:	If I buy 3 of these radios can I talk and listen to others on the same channel
Answer:	Recent FCC change makes it legal to talk from shore to a boat on the water. Must restrict oneself to marine related traffic. Effective January 2017, the use of portable VHF radio ashore is allowed, “so long as it is limited to enhancing the usefulness of marine VHF radios without negatively affecting maritime communications.” From BoatUS Magazine, April-May, 2017

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this radio work in the Caribbean
Answer:	Casio bands are a bit abnormal. It's more like a 22 that flares out to a 24, but installs via 16mm springbars. If you want to change it, you need special adapters first, then use a 22mm NATO or 2-piece band.
Question:	Police scanner?? I am looking for a new handheld for my husband for cmas. We use it to monitor police and fire calls
Answer:	“Lume” it up by directing an LED or UV flashlight ray on it for a minute or so. This will enable the weak lume to glow in the darkness to varying degrees for most of the night.
Question:	Is there an extended Amazon warranty for this radio
Answer:	The width of the band where the pin is 22 but its continuation is thicker ... in other words 22 is perfect
Question:	how does this model compare with the 73 plus
Answer:	Yes. It's the same size as the other Casio Marlin dates labeled as men's.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this comes with charger
Answer:	The frequency assignments for the equivalent services are different in Europe, as opposed to the US and Canada, therefore US FRS/GMRS radios are not legal in Europe http://www.walkie-talkie-radio.co.uk/information/international-issues
Question:	Does it take the same mic as my M
Answer:	It doesn't matter how many radios, but the radio with which you wish to communicate directly must be within a range that depends to a great degree upon multiple variables. Think line-of-sight, and think around your neighborhood, not across town.
Question:	Is the antenna removable
Answer:	Working and being legal for use are two different things. Yes, they will work anywhere in the world but you would need to check with the country in Europe and their equivalent of the FCC for radio regulations. Most European countries use PMR and not FRS or GMRS.
Question:	does this comes with charger
Answer:	it will depend on using and battery type. Some product could last for several months on best brand name batteries.
