good quetion i'm old and ain;t never used a tracker yet fixin to get one of the beep beeps does just a regular cb interfere with the trackers or somethin along that line is why you use the marine radios ??

you can get a uniden or cobra 25 watt marine radio at any bass pro or cabelas for just under $100, sometimes you can get them off ebay cheaper, then you can get a magnet mount antenna from your local radio shop for around 40-50. A marine radio wont interfere with a telementry tracking system unless you have the antennas to close together , I have mine 10 inches apart and never had a problem. I don't use the garmin gps systems so im not familiar with that problem

From what I've researched, it's illegal to use them anywhere but on water. But I don't think it's really going to be a big deal if you're not near a major water body (ie ocean)!
