what island are you going to? In Nassau there's been a P25 system reported. If memory serves it was an 800mhz system.

going to nassau. yup there is a 800 mhz motorola system. i had a win 95 file set up for my pro-95 that i made up, ready to go with local freq's.but unfortounetely my pro-95 broke sunday the antenna connection fell off. so im bringing my pro-79 with me.

Nassau's 800mhz system is digital so you won't be able to listen to that system. There should be quite a bit more to listen to though as Nassau is a fairly large island with tons of people.

The Marine Channels are very active and also check out the 2 meter Ham Band I understand that there is a repeater there and it is used for ham + non ham comms. When I was there with a Icom 2sat, I could monitor only 140 - 174 mghz and found lots too listen too. 73...Ray, kb4omo

Bahamas

...was stationed on Eleuthera, Bahamas in 1975. It was a very small installation. I remember listening to FM radio from Florida and WLW Cincy at night.
