Almost 2 weeks and we still don't know who the smartest one is.  

How will we know? Will there be a bathing suit competition to break the stalemate?

Sadly, no.. They will keep this verbalmasturbation match going on forever in their terminal attempts at proving they are the smartest one in the room.

I can assure you that's not me, and there are plenty of people that would love to back me up on that. Although I would be a worthy competitor in a swimsuit if it comes to that.

I have no understanding why the FCC can't, or wont allow multiple type certifications for a single radio. My point here is that I can't see any reason that you can't legally buy a type certified radio that covers both MURS, FRS, and Marine VHF. Is this because the manufactures don't want to bother with this? Or is there something within current FCC rules that I'm missing that prohibits this?

Currently there's four "services" that do not require licensing, Marine VHF (license requirement eliminated in 1996), MURS, FRS, and Citizens Band (11M).

Marine VHF is an interesting one. The limitations are pretty generous. The way I understand the current rules for Marine VHF is that as long as you are using to communicate with another person on (or near?) a navigable body of water, it's within the rules. So technically, if one party is on a kayak in a creek large enough to allow kayaking, and the other is onshore (and at  no specifically defined distance from the water), communication on the Marine VHF band is permitted. Anywhere in the country. The power limitation is 25 watts for Marine VHF.

What burns my bacon is you can buy a radio(s) that does have this capability (but they're not "legal"), so the technology is available, but the FCC wants you to buy 3 radios... Hmmm... maybe I just answered my own question...

I would try to answer your question, but I can't answer the question if I'm just as confused.
