The USCG will hopefully still respond to analog VHF marine channel calls.

Got to keep the economy going by forcing people to buy things.

“The agency is switching to digital frequencies and says the new equipment cannot process signals transmitting on 121.5 or 243.0 MHz.”

Sounds like poor planning to me. Is the entire world supposed to upgrade to satisfy the new equpiment? I thought the Coast Guard was supposed to help people.

Hmmmm...This has me wondering about the NWS stations. My family uses western Pennsylvania services includin KIH-35 162.55MHz and KZZ-42 at 162.500MHz. If the USCG is goind digital I would bet so will the NWS.

I'm not sure I like either move.

This will be our new underground communication means. We will have analog radio and the government won’t know because they are all on digital.

Boaters: "HELP!"

USCG: "Sorry, that's analog. We only do digital."
