Hi Bob:

Really nice site; well done.
Thanks for bringing it to my, and everyone elses attention.

What mode is used on 2182 ?

Guess I'm really confused over all the "private" outfits that are licensed
to
use this freq. I thought it was "only" for emergencies ?
How does this work ?

Regards,
Bob

2182 is monitored but 2187.5 and GMDSS is used for emergency calls. 2182
is and as far as I can remember always been a calling & emergency frequency.

You could do worse than have a look at www.gmdss.com.au which gives all
the information that you are likely to need, they also have an excellent
mailing list that you can subscribe to, with many industry professionals
posting there on a regular basis.
