Brand new to radios of any kind except cheap blister pack radios for the kids. I got a cheapo baofeng to mainly use to listen too in emergencies, or God forbid maybe call for help one day. But it's basically just for the hurricane kit. I won't bore you with a whole program file but what I did was make one side of the channels 1-50 national "universal" frequencies. I have all 22 GMRS/FRS channels, I have the important civilian marine VHF channels since I live on the river (9,13,16,22,68,68,71,72), I have the 5 M.U.R.S channels even though I really dunno what those are, I have the national simplex calling frequencies for 146, 446, and 223, the international space station because why not, the airband emergency channels such as vhf guard, the 2 air to air ones, the helicopter to helicopter one, the air search and rescue one, the military uhf gaurd, and finally something called VSAR16 which I believe was ground search and rescue.....
Does this sound like a good comprehensive list? Anything I'm missing as far as universal nationwide frequencies? I have the local stuff on the other side of the channels (999 and down) to make them more organized. I won't go into that list, I'm just focused on the national stuff first.
