[TrunkCom] " limited to 33 inland areas " And Scanning - H E L P

[A10382]

The FCC allowed some of the Part 80 (maritime ) freqs to be re-used in a few 
designated areas that did not have any navigable waters.  This served 2 
purposes:

1) made a few freqs avail for IG service (VHF IG pool is already very 
crowded with users)
2) By selecting a few specific area (those without any navigable waters in 
the area), it prevented these newly reused freqs from interfering with 
maritime users.

Of course, the marine band is already illegally used inland by many hunters 
and even businesses.  Those pirate users justify their use by thinking they 
are not interfering with any marine users.  I live about 50+ miles from salt 
water, but the hunters in my area using marine band HTs can easily be heard 
on the water.... I'm at 1000' altitude with only lower hills in between me 
and the salt water.
