Roger that, thanks for the recommendation Larry. The pager
interference is awful in Hampton Roads, one of the many areas
identified by the Coast Guard as having serious interference to vhf
marine band. The Boston and Cape Cod areas were another area
identified with that problem, I didn't know Charleston was also so
bad. At least part of the problem will be reduced when the new narrow
band radios become prevalent. I can reduce most but not all pager
interference just by setting a receiver to FM Narrow, and this works
even when active splitters, notorious for amplifying pager
interference, are used.

As long as boaters keep demanding the cheapest piece of crap the
electronics industry can produce....and as long as boat crap discounters
keep ordering $30 VHF transceivers so they can make $100 on each
unit....the problem will never go away.....

Fortunately, paging companies are all going bankrupt from the cellphone
competition...cops are all going to UHF trunk systems...and Motorhola has
bribed the FCC so they won't be selling anyone more VHF business-band
licenses forcing them all to buy into Motorhola's overpriced trunk radio
systems...or Nextel....
