Robert, you may also want to listen to the U.S. Coast Guard on 8982,
daytime, and 5695, nighttime. Most utilities freq's are USB.

Subject: 5717 SAR Newbie Quest. ?

Hi,

Saw the SAR post re 5717 of a few days ago.

New at this.

Is this a very common, and often used SAR freq. ?
Any others used more often off of eastern seaboard (I'm outside of Boston) ?

Is it USB ?

Thanks,
B.
