Bruce,
The
Wouxun UVD1P covers the 50MHz 6m band and is programmable using CHIRP.

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 ?

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).
