The WSF system currently uses VHF APX6000’s, and they have Ch. 1, 2, and 3, I know the main channel: 151.040, and they have OSCCR, and Fog Deck, or “fog watch”. Any ideas on what those channel freqs might be? |

OSCCR is 156.135 and their other channel is probably a marine VHF channel... probably channel 16... |

If I remember correctly this is how their old BK radios were laid out. Probably applies to their APX's: ch.1 151.040 Boat/Dock comms ch.2 157.100 Marine ch.22A USCG ch.3 156.425 Marine ch.68 ch.6 156.475 Marine ch.69 Boat/Dock for passenger ferries ch.11 156.550 Marine ch.11 ch.14 156.700 Marine ch.14 Puget Sound VTS unk.ch 156.950 Marine ch.19A unk.ch 156.975 Marine ch.79A |

Much thanks1. I'm guessing that the HT's are still: 1 151.04 2 156.425 Marine #68. "Go to two" 3. 156.135 OSSCR 4. 156.475 Marine #69 - I have never ever heard the ferries use this freq. I ride Edmonds or Bainbridge Is every week Years ago a ferry captain on 151.04 had someone that had to pass personal info say 'go to two, no one listens there'. I did clue him in that #68 is the most popular boat to boat freq in the US... Not a place for HIPAA information:) I'm guessing that all the 151.04 traffic will eventually move to the new State DOT 700 system. |

No problem! Also, they no longer use any HT radios, all crew, terminals and vessels have a visible green APX6000’s, APX6000li’s and APX6000R’s, and I listed all of the Channel no. and frequencies in order of how they are assigned to the one zone. |
