Hey Nora,
I have a handheld marine radio. The band is channelized, channel 16 being
monitored by authorities for emergency contacts. Channel 9 is the call
channel. It is pretty easy to get info on-line about all the other
channels. A radio can be got for under $150, though the frequencies can be
programmed into a Baofeng, legalities aside, technically I don't believe it
is. No license is required.
Best,
Chad
