NO NO NO NO NO. Wrong!  22A is the Coast Guard "non international" equivalent
of the international ch 22.  Duplex vs simplex.

Study your VHF FM workings of US vs International.  This is very important in
operating a VHF.  You can't be reading the instruction manual when you are up
to your ears in seawater and getting deeper by the minute.
