There are two specialty channels, 16, and

9. Channel 16 is the primary distress/ Coast Guard/Hailing channel while Chan- nel 9 is typically the backup hailing/calling channel for areas where there is higher

level of marine traffic. Depending on your location, you can choose to monitor both distress channel 16, the extra hailing channel 9 as well as the radio channel you are otherwise using (TRIWATCH), or you can choose to only monitor channel 16 and your regular channel (DUALWATCH) which lets the radio check each channel more frequently.

.Press either ▲ or ▼ to reach

either 16/9 TriWatch (default) or 16 DualWatch. Press ENTER to select it. A double beep sounds and the radio returns to the RADIO MENU screen.
