[TrunkCom] AK, BC, & Cruise Ship Freqs

Tue, 9 Mar 2004 16:50:28 -0600

Joe, On your 245 press SVC 'til you see MRN (marine) let it search and
punch in the freqs you hear.  The display will show the marine channel
numbers.  I did this about a year or ago on a cruise around New Zealand
and Australia.  I was able to monitor the harbor pilots when they boarded
the ship to guide it into the various ports.  Sorry, I don't have any
freqs but searching will help.
