Hello all, A coworker here at Cameron has expressed an interest in ham radio. I'm going to help out as much as I can, and point him in what I think is the right direction.
He did have an interesting question. He assumed that my Yaesu FT-60 could communicate on the maritime band. I told him know, but I thought he might be able to monitor it them. I did a little checking and as I thought, the Maritime VHF band is higher than the ham band, but it didn't say if it was AM, FM, SSB or digital. Which brings me to his question. He wanted to know if anyone makes a 2m/Maritime HT or mobile rig. I thought this might be possible since Icom used to make a 2m/Aviation HT for a while with an option I believe for a DF using what I think are called VOR. So does anyone know if any one makes or have made (so I might find it at a ham fest) a 2m/maritime HT or mobile size rig? 73 all, Rob, KC5RET Rob McClure Cameron IT Staff Server Operations ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information of Cameron and its Operating Divisions.
