Notes:

  • Some radios have channels 3A (156.1500), 61A (156.0750), and 64A (156.2250) in the USA band plan.
  • Channels 87 and 88 can vary in different radios. They can be duplex channels in radios made before AIS was established.
  • New AIS channels AIS-3 and AIS-4 were established in 2019 for AIS tracking via satellite.
