VHF noise

[Bob Fischer]

I'm picking up radio stations on several of the VHF channels on my radio. Nothing electronic was added to the boat, why would this suddenly happen, and how can I stop it?

Interference...

If that happen at the dock site, some radio activity may generated that kind of problem.Why don't try with other radio first, connected to the same antenna. A walkie T will be ideal for that test. If you get the same result with it, almost for sure is an outside source. If you get it under way, I will say your radio need a check out in the mixing section.
