: I realize of course that you are speaking about a VHF freq. here, but I have also heard WSF on the DOT 800 mhz trunk system. (You can't however "trunk track" this system (even with a BC 780) because it is an E.F. Johnson "multi-net" system). Could there be a "common" VHF freq., like OSCCR, that might be used by the dock crews too ??

: : Ouch...Way to put me on the spot Mark! But seriously...I was thinking that maybe F-3 on their radios may correspond with a marine freq of a different channel number...I.e. F-3 may be Marine channel #67 (156.375), and the display may say something along the lines of:

: : While I don't know for sure, I do know of at least 2 other instances of that being the way it is done (Royal Carribean Cruises and the USCG vessel Polar Star). I'll poke around and see what I can turn up, and of course post the results here for all to see...

Hook it up to your 245 thru that little box
you bought and maybe you can find it.
