The Answer was to a specific question
The question you asked was how to call other boats with VHF to hook up, how to contact bridges, locks etc.
My comment was to use the correct channels, which in one of the links provided laid all that out for you as what channels were for what use.
I then I went on to tell you what I do ... and I scan monitor three channels 9, 16 and 69.
How this is done is buy using what is referred to as "Selective Scan" which is a feature on most middle of the road radios on up. this allows you to select specific channels for the radio to listen to and when traffic is encountered to show that channel on your read out, send the traffic to your speaker and continue until the traffic end sor you tell the radio to move on.
I never said nor did I intend for you to believe you had to monitor any other channel than 16..
