Hi Gary,
It will work with a VHF antenna-no problems. Any good radio mech should be able to do a base load test to check out if it transmitting/receiving OK.

yes it should work no probs.

only thing is to switch it to international mode. The difference is that in USA mode you can not use high power on some channels. One of them channels is 73, which is used to communicate with VMR. so setting the unit to international will allow the use of high power.

Cheers
Heath
