Jack,

Most common marine frequencies are in the VHF-hi band... 150 Mhz. The RT524
does 30-70 Mhz in the VHF-Lo band. If you haven't yet spotted those marine
channels, contact me off-list and I'll send you a list.

Next, I few days back I asked a Marine Radio Telephone and I just wanted to
say thanks to everyone that responded with information. I've charged it and
it works great. I was happy to discover that Channel 1 is the weather
channel. Coast Guard is on 15 and there are some for ship to ship, ship to
shore, etc. The radio near new, a handheld type and has about 5 watts of
transmit power, with a high and low range setting. My next project is to
figure out the radio frequencies and see if anything on it is on the RT524.
Now that would be great! Any suggestion how to determine frequencies?
Thanks.
