Can these radios be programed 156 - 162 MHz? Just out of curiosity, If one of these handheld radios were to pickup a repeater, the range could be all over North America or U.S.?

how do those #'s correlate to vhf 1-69 etc....

Hand held marine radio only. Baofeng is hand held dual band 2 meter radio. I have a midland and never use it. Only advantage is that it is water proof.
