Bob... Hail, "Binary Bill" on 16 and switch to 69 [or what ever free
channel suits].... that's the channel you should be monitoring [or is it
channel 9 down there?]... at any rate that's the beauty of VHF. If you're
there and your VHF works Bill will hear and confirm your call.

Yup, and since my radio has ilegal high power he won't be able to claim
otherwise!
I'll hail billy jane on Channel 9.

According to the paperwork, the unit transmits with 38 watts. Is that not
legal? I don't know. The previous owner had it "tuned." It sure sounds loud and
clear to everyone who hears it, especially compared to my newer radio.

5 watts is the maximum standard Bob!

Maybe you meant 3.8 watts???

I think it's 5 or 6 watts for a handheld and 25 for a base type unit.
