Setting Dual or TripleWatch (Tri Watch) [For Marine and FRS Band Only]
There are two specialty channels: 16, and 9. Channel 16 is the primary distress/ Coast Guard/Hailing channel while Channel 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 (TripleWatch), or you can choose to only monitor Channel 16 and your regular channel (DualWatch) which lets the radio check each channel more frequently.
