I’m assuming that they are using FM Marine Band radios (and we all know what happens when we assume, don’t we? <wink>)… They look similar to those I’ve seen on the bridges of the various casino boats on which I’ve worked. Plus, I hold a MROP (Marine Radio Operator Permit) and that is what’s “suggested for use”, along with the SSB stuff for ocean-going vessels.
My guess is you won’t see a frequency, but rather a 2-digit display for the marine channel they’re operating on at the time… The keypad allows direct entry for the channel number. Mark – N9WYS I also did some searching, and below is what I found. Given there are 747 active licenses in the FCC database and I was trying to remember ship names from memory, I may have not gotten all the ships correct… but this is all I cold find.
