Thanks for these. I am in the process of obtaining a 'full' ham
licence. I am aware that the set is not type-approved for marine SSB.
Its principle function will be for ham use - but it would seem foolish
not to have the option to access both sets of frequencies should the
need arise.

I was really hoping for information along the lines of, 'its fandoogle
is very sensitive to damp and it will immediately loose its
transmodulatory capability in a marine environment'.

(I am aware of its potential for brain death due to its volatile ROM)

That's one that operates on more frequencies than from 26.9 to 28.9
Mhz....(c;

It usually also means the station is less than 1.5KW, too!

The head ARRL tester, who also gives GROL tests, here, used to be a 10KW CB
operator....They're not all bad, after being "turned"....(c;

I suspect that is because your world view is too America-centric
'Full' is the normal casual designation for the licence level that
allows maritime mobile operation issued by the licencing authority in
my part of the world. And it is a nice general word which, to me,
