The latest edition of Industry Canada's applicable document shows that
21B is used for Continuous Marine Broadcasts in all areas of Canada,
and makes no mention of 22B. (However, I have noticed that we don't
always do what this document says...)

With a radio in "Canada" mode, 22 will actually be 22A, as it is used
by the Coast Guard to talk to the public - you would need to use the
International mode to hear "22B".

Note: on the West Coast, the Canadian Coast Guard uses 83A rather than
22A to talk to the public, to avoid potential interference with the
USCG's use of 22A. *I don't know if the CCG in other areas has also
switched to 83A...

before we get to much farther into this discussion, maybe we should
move AWAY from Channel Designators, that are different between countries
and numbering systems, and move on to FREQUENCIES, in Mhz.

21A = 157.050 Mhz
21B = 161.650 Mhz

22A = 157.100 Mhz
22B = 161.700 Mhz

23A = 157.150 Mhz
23B = 161.750 Mhz

83A = 157.175 Mhz
83B = 161.775 Mhz

Bruce,

I've been looking at these frequencies in my manual, and was surpised
to see that I had to set the radio to International mode, as opposed
to Canadian mode, to receive the B frequencies on my Standard Horizon
radio that the Canadian CG broadcasts.
