Contact is always made on channel 16. After that the two radio operators must choose another public channel to communicate on. There are several web sites that display the purpose of each channel. Though if you just want to chat, get a CB.

Ch 78 if you venture into the ocean. That's the Salty Dogs' channel.

The above address takes you to the FCC web page and will show you a break down of what channels are for what use. Good luck

I have a 20ft North River with a new Marine radio.
I have never felt confortable using it. Can any one tell me what channels (other than 9-16) everyone is hailing & talking on?
