You just stated VHF 12.15 Mhz it should be 121.5 mhz and 243 mhz.
If your getting ready to slam them you might well get someone to proof

your own posts ;-)

True, John, and MegaHertz is MHz, not mhz. M is for mega and m is for
milli. Hz is short for Hertz which is a proper name and thus should be
capitalized even when abbreviated.

Oooh, you need a thick skin around here...

I'll take a preemptive shot, at no one in particular, with my pet
peeve: "kph" is wrong, it's km/h!

(I had to look up preemptive to make sure it is not hyphenated.)

Are you kidding? The people around here lay awake at night worrying about
whether anal-retentive should be hyphenated.

For all intensive porpoises this thread will manifest itself for the
doggy-dog world we live in and make all points mute.

Bah! *Everybody* knows that the mark-up is a full colon. Or, as our
Brit friends would say, "Full colon, full stop."

Not a full colon, but a semi-colon with a polyp. Otherwise you would have
observed and noted the improper use of a transitive verb where an
intransitive one should be. One does not "lay" awake. One *lies* awake
at night. Lie, lay, lain ---weak verb. Lay, laid, laid -- strong verb
taking an object.
