- I have a Kenwood TH-77a, so my mileage may vary. When you put some channels
- as 'skip' in the memory, then when in scan, they should be 'skipped' over
- to the next channel. Could it possibly be that the W21at has a 'skip scan'
- function...ie: scans only your skipped channels? Otherwise, sound like
- you do have a problem.... check the manual (grin)

- OH boy oh boy oh boy.....
-
- OK....here's how it works.... a 'ham' radio cannot legally be used on
- any other frequency other than ham radio frequencies....the exception to this
- rule is for MARS operators to operate ham radios on MARS channels, and CAP
- operators to operate on CAP frequencies....these two services do have rules
- on spectral purity and frequency tolerance - which most commercially produces
- amateur radios meet or exceed.
-
- However, supposed you are a cop and you're also licensed on Marine Band, in
- MARS, and in CAP, you can buy a radio which is type accepted for PART90
- and PART 80 (public safety and marine band) and also program in your
- favorite ham radio repeaters, MARS freqs, and CAP repeaters and be legal
- all the way around!
