Visiting my daughter and trying to monitor marine band when 157.750 kept locking in with a signal that reminds me of a beacon with a code identifier. Anyone know what and where it is?
157.750 in Russellville

157.7500 is not VHF Marine, so lock it out.
maybe you are getting an image or an adjacent freq. 157.7400 would be the neared VHF allocation
or 157.7700 which is/was an RCC/Paging channel

Likely your picking up this..

Ok, makes sense. Thank you. Unfortunately I can't lock it out. I'm using the pre-programmed channels on a Yaesu VX-6R and for some reason that frequency and several others are included in the 'marine' pre-programmed frequencies.
I think it is just scanning everything 156-174 Mhz. I would turn off that feature and setup a scanner to scan what you want if it was me.
I'm not sure it will work but see if pressing the [F/W] key followed by [5(SKIP)] while it's stopped on that freq will make it skip it instead of stop on it.

the 5skip doesn't work on pre-programmed freq. will have to add a few marine freq to my AR bank in the VX-6R. Don't have a scanner with me.
OK. Yeah I'm not sure which ones are active in that area so I can't help you there.
