C-4 WEATHER Channels

5 . The letter “A” illuminated by the channel number indicates the Canada channel is simplex. This same channel is always duplex when selecting International.

There is no “A” reference for International channels. The letter “B” is only used for some Canadian “Receive only” channels.

6. Channel 70 is designated for use exclusively for Digital Selective Calling (DSC), such as Distress, Safety, and Ship Calls. No voice communication is allowed on CH70.

This channel is only available on DSC enabled radios.

Note: The CANADA mode is not legal to use in U.S. waters.

KEY: S = Simplex operating channel; D = Duplex operating channel.
