[BC] Re: Travelers Advisory & Public Safety Radio

[Douglas Pritchett]

Alan, most transmitters made for that service are purposely limited in
modulation (50%?) and freq response (3kc?). Why? So that pirates won't
use them to do their dastardly deeds. There is supposedly some FCC
rule which, of course, I can't recall.
