Hey Shawn,
Thanks for the good info on the channels 68, 69, 71, or 72
non-commercial/pleasure channels.  So far I have only programed mine to
scan 9 and 16 for distress calls along with NOAA for weather alerts.  

Odd thing is if there were a boating accident other than another kayaker
or other small boat, I probably would not be of much use in providing
aid other than organizing and providing limited buoyancy to a few
swimmers or first aid.
