I just bought a used Universal M-7000 and I'm looking for some good

someone has some frequencies that I can try.


Thanks,

Mike G.

Many of the US-based FEC (SITOR-B) weather broadcasts that used to be
all over the marine bands are gone now, but you can always find FEC
NAVTEX broadcasts on 518kHz if you're in range of the coasts
(Atlantic, Gulf or Pacific).

See http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/marcomms/gmdss/NAVTEX.htm

The new GMDSS system uses the same 100baud/170Hz shift modulation, but
it has a different symbol alphabet that an FEC decoder can't decode.


Good listening,
