Milwaukee Marine VHF Radio: Hear ship and boat traffic in Milwaukee on the rivers and from Lake Michigan.
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are more of the most commonly-used channels in Milwaukee.
Channel 16, International Hailing and Distress Frequency
Channel 9: Preferred Hailing Channel. (Rarely used in Milwaukee but should be a new FCC Rule that has designated Channel 9 as the preferred channel for calling/hailing. The purpose of this change is to free Channel 16 from distress calls.
Various other channels, with calls typically originating on Channel 16 or Channel 9
CHANNEL 22A: Restricted to USCG use only. You may hear a boater or ship establish contact with the USCG on Channel 9 or 16; they may ask them to switch to Channel 22A. You may also hear an announcement from the coast guard on 22A
This is a "Mixer" in that instead of scanning, the receiver listens to many common marine channels simultaneously and then mixes the audio together. Enjoy!
