If you're in Australia mate, disregard the experts & just get a cheap CB
radio like you have. Only difference is that the one you bought is used
on
land & mostly by truckies etc. You need the marine band version of the

meg radio to talk to that channel 68. It is possible to get the crystals
put
in (changed) to be able to use the one you have but for about $40 you
get a
newbie!!
CB stands for "Citizens Band"............. now choose "marine" or
otherwise.

The above "Dufus" should learn a bit more about the subject before he
proves his lack of knowledge. CB radio's are different animals than
Marine Radios, and the two are "Mutially Exclusive". Some CB Radios
do have weather receivers in them, but they can NOT transmit on any
Marine channel no matter who puts the crystals in them.
