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.

It is USB. At least in my experience, 5717 is the most active frequency
for the Canadian Coast Guard. It seems like once every few months I
catch a little 'drama' on this frequency.

Hi,

Thanks for info.

Any idea what the most popular U.S.C.G. freq. (around Boston) SAR would be ?

Try 5696 and 8983 usb.

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.

Proud to be a top-poster!

The Canucks also use 6715 for SAR.
