Frequencies are in MHz.
Note that the letter "A" indicates simplex use of an international duplex
channel, and that operations are different than international operations on
that channel. Some VHF transceivers are equipped with an "International -
U.S." switch for that purpose. "A" channels are generally only used in the
United States, and use is normally not recognized or allowed outside the
U.S.
Boaters should normally use channels listed as Non-Commercial. Channel 16
is used for calling other stations or for distress alerting. Channel 13
should be used to contact a ship when there is danger of collision. All
ships of length 20m or greater are required to guard VHF channel 13, in
addition to VHF channel 16, when operating within U.S. territorial waters.
Users may be fined by the FCC for improper use of these channels.
