F.A.Q.

What are “coast guard radio stations” and what role do they play in maritime communications?

Coast guard radio stations, e.g., those operated by United States Coast Guard, provide shore-to-ship and ship-to-shore communications for distress.

Which frequencies and channels are used by coast-guard or maritime radio stations for distress and safety messages?

The marine VHF Channel 16 (156.800 MHz) is designated internationally for distress, safety and calling calls. HF/MF bands and DSC channels (e.g., VHF-FM channel 70 for digital selective calling) are also used.

What are some of the current developments or upgrades in coast guard/maritime radio station infrastructure?

Modern upgrades include the rollout of systems like the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), replacing legacy systems, and transitioning older HF stations to automated and digitally-assisted platforms.

MT complete HF base station is providing all features to meet new digital networks.
