SUK HT PROGRAMMING PROTOCOL (proposal)

[Lightspeed]

Hi LS
as you've already covered 0 and 16 and as most preppers will be shorebased then
12 - Port Operations - 156.600 S 156.600
14 - Port Operations - 156.700 S 156.700
74 - Port Operations - 156.725 S 156.725
67 - Bridge to Bridge (1W) - 156.375 S 156.375
Would be useful channels for keeping track of comms and activity close to shore

For inter-group comms then any of the public correspondence channels would be ok e.g.
20 - Public Correspondance - 157.000 D 161.600
21 - Public Correspondance - 157.050 D 161.650
22 - Public Correspondence - 157.100 D 161.700
23 - Public Correspondence - 157.150 D 161.750

FYI Channel 16 isn't just for safety, it's also the generally accepted calling channel - be aware that this is monitored by the Coast Guard 24/7

Thanks Gary,

Your greater knowledge is invaluable.

I've plugged in your recommendations to the attached version (v4) I assume that I have the duplex frequencies the right way around? No time for me to check this today. If wrong, could you correct and repost as v5?

Re Channel 16, I pre planned to configure it up wth TX offset outside operating limit of the radio so that inadvertant misuse is minimized. Simple manual resetting via radio keyboad of the SHIFT function to ZERO / OFF will restore the ability to transmit on the distress frequency. See original notation on that channel.

Sorry to Marine users, there are not enough free channel numbers for me to give you easy channel number only alignment. My logic is that expected force of numbers favours PMR446 getting the prime allocations.
