Some of the newer radios will monitor both Ch 9 & 16 and some
will
also have a third channel of your choice.

I would like to figure out a way to connect the VHF external
speaker to one
of these, so I can hear any calls on it in scan or monitoring
of ch16.

This brings to mind a question I've been wondering about. Used
to be that
when you had the radio on you were supposed to monitor channel
16. However
from what I've read the general calling channel is now channel
9. So which
are you supposed to monitor these days?
