The RT76P is capable of receiving VHF. You can add a VHF freq to one of the 30 channels by using the programming software. This channel can then be part of your scan sequence or monitoring, but you will only be able to receive not transmit. The 2 short cut buttons located on the PTT side of the radio allow you to access all the NOAA channels. These buttons can also be used to access the fm radio. They can be programmed using the Retevis software.

Here are the links that Retevis sent to me. This included everything to get me up and running. Once I upgraded the firmware I used the default password of 288288. Universal USB driver RT76P Video RT76P programming software Firmware update

I had to upgrade the firmware on my RT76P before i could program it with a pc using Retevis software, not CHIRPs. The password that was given to me by Nancy at Retevis support is 288288. They also sent me the software to upgrade firmware. I am still not able to program them using the front end. The software also allows me to root the radio. I'm not certain but I believe that rooting the radio will unlock it. I haven't tried this because it might brick the radio and make it useless.
