Uses of VHF radio are much wider than just marine. I'm pretty sue that all aircraft use VHF for approach/landing/take-off and indeed for air traffic control. Lots of the rescue services have probably moved on to UHF. A lot of VHF mobile radio exists for despatching, taxis etc. User:Rjstott

• Agreed with rjstott -- this is essentially an article about marine VHF, which is one particular band of VHF using narrowband FM. It's a very important band, but there's rather a lot more to it. I'm going to add some stuff to it, but the marine VHF material needs to be broken out into its own article. Haikupoet 03:30, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I renamed the page Marine VHF radio and merged the non-marine stuff, particularly the info on non-licensed operation, into VHF. I also set up VHF radio as a disambiguation page, with links to marine VHF radio, Airband, Amateur radio, etc. --agr 15:20, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
