VHF Marine Channel Assignments

Three (3) sets of VHF Channel Maps have been established for marine use internationally, in Canada and in the U.S.A. Most of the channels are the same for all three (3) maps, but there are definite differences (see table on the following pages).

Your radio has all three (3) maps built into it and will operate correctly in whichever area you choose. When shipped from the factory, your radio will be set to the International Channel Map. (See page 19 for instructions on how to change

the Channel Map.)

The following is a brief outline for some of the channel assignments in the International Channel Map.

Distress, Safety and Calling

Channel 16

Getting the attention of another station (calling) or in emergencies (distress and safety).

Intership Safety

Channel 6

On-Board Communication

Channel 15, 17

Used for communication between parts of large ships.

Navigational

Channels 13, 67, 75, 76

Channels are available to all vessels. Messages must be about navigation, including passing or meeting other vessels. These are also the main working channels for most locks and drawbridges.

only digital selective calling techniques. Voice communication is prohibited; your radio cannot transmit voice messages on this channel.
