Daily interference on 40+ marine freqs in data base

[dmchalmers]

every single afternoon i have to avoid 40+ marine freqs that lock on with static an i have the marine channels off, They are not in my favorites list either. I'm in northern Mi 75-100 miles from Great Lakes also data that shows on screen shows known Road coms as Marine.

If the freqs are not in your favorites list, how are they scanning?

What radio?

Squelch setting?

Squelch setting?

If it is a 436, 536, 100 or 200 hopefully... 2... but we don't know. .

Something tells me this is a location situation. Might be right next to something, no?

I am constantly turning mine up or down instead of the volume. Since I listen primarily to trunking, it is anyone's guess what number it is at. But yes, if parked next to a computer with indoor whip is going to hear a bunch of hash.

Ive been having a similar issue on marine channels 10, 18r, 27r, 61r, 64r, 65a, 74, 82r and perhaps a few more. I have to turn the squelch up to 7 or 8 on my bc125at. Until this thread I thought it was something inside the ship, but now I'm wondering... for reference, I'm listening in my stateroom on a processing ship in the bearing sea. It's not a constant static, it pulses in and out on any squelch setting below 8.

If OP is located near the water, close call may be activated.

157.150, 157.175, 157.200 I had to avoid 25 times yesterday afternoon so their somewhere in the data base multiple times. I have Marine shut off an Canada off also. My local Road Coms are on 156.180 and 156.240 an still show as marine even when scanning a Fav list

You may be doing temporary avoids. When you turn the scanner off and back on, the avoids are cleared. Press avoid twice for a permanent avoid.

Its some electronic device nearby likely doing it. Don't be surprised if it is your wifi router, my netgear does that to marine here as well, but not too bad anymore. When the scanner is locked up on static for marine, pull the plug on the router, see if it goes away.
I alleviated most of the static by just moving the router a little bit as well as moving the electrical wiring for it too until the static went away.

Also is the radio very near a computer? They are notorious for that.

One solution for router interference

See cg's April 10 post re a similar problem. Recently bought a Linksys WRT54G 2.4Ghz network router for the main home computer. Then found that on my Pro-96 I had a problem with scanning the county Motorola 800Mhz digital system in the same room as the router. Unless I hit Pause on an active...

Netgear router interferes with Radio

I just received a free Netgear WNR1000 in the mail from Comcast. Hooked everything up and now I get noise on all my radio's including the one I use for my feed, in the 154 MHZ range. I,ve read before about people moving the router to other parts of the house. My question is, how is this done...

I live in a very rural area and lots of local farmers and traveling harvest crews use marine channels here. "John Deere One calling Cotton Picker, you gotcher ears on?"

Hundreds of miles to the nearest large body of water.

I've actually heard coyote hunters using marine channels. "I got that one Jake...took him a minute, but he fell.."

Ah....life in the boonies.

Some marine VHF channels are assigned for licensed LMR use well inland from navigable waterways.
