No, actually many savvy New Yorkers are catching on to the idea of carrying marine radios on the subway. Potential perpetrators put off pouncing on prospective prey. They hear the squawk from the VHF traffic on the radio and think you might be a cop. :-) And it is legal to use a marine radio when in subway tunnels under the East and Harlem Rivers. ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .

I thought one could only use the VHF on water. Would it be legal under the water? Will the ducky antenna work or will I have to use a telescoping one? How about this TV like antenna? Will a 1 watt HH VHF work or do I need a 5 watter? I'm just not going to ask about what kind of batteries to use! 8-) Its been a long Monday!
