Bruce,
The Wouxun UVD1P covers the 50MHz 6m band and is programmable using CHIRP. http://www.miklor.com/UVD1P/

Every time I start up Chirp, I see the reference to the 6m band and look forward to the day I can get a 'Chirpable' radio that covers that band. Last rig I had in that band was an old Clegg 6'er.
Any rig in particular that has that coverage working exceptionally well with Chirp as the programming tool ?
73 4 now, Bruce

Actually, one of the main reasons for California’s use of low-band VHF is because a large portion of California is mountainous and higher frequencies simply require a lot more infrastructure in the way of repeaters to be able to cover the same areas with hills and valleys. This would result in much higher costs for reliable coverage.

With the open spaces, large patrol areas and such, vhf LO is probably the best band out there for them.

One of the largest police agencies, with thousands of radios, and covering one of the largest geographical areas, still uses VHF low band, and has absolutely no plans on moving, or changing. That is the California Highway Patrol. (CHP).
