Narrowband Maritime????

Will the PSR 500 Scan & Search the new NARROWBAND Maritime Frequencies?
I have noticed that there are some new frequencies.
The new ones are located in-between the old ones.
Any ideas?

The PSR-500 has continuous coverage, so it will receive any frequency within its range.

Are you asking about the new 3 digit VHF Marine channels?

Altho approved thru WARC, I don't think the FCC approved them and I know
Motorola balked at producing a Radio with them, if approved.

No, NOT 3 digits. The old ones were 3 digits to the RIGHT of the DECIMAL.
The NEW ones have 4 digits to the RIGHT of the DECIMAL.

I've never heard anything , and the last I knew they were never approved/adopted by the FCC.
I tried searching the FCC and GAO web sites w/o Luck.

I'll put my money on , never approved, as I have not seen a Marine Radio out there with those numbers.

It will NOT Search or Scan these frequencies? Even if NOT approved if the spacing was right, shouldn't it be able too?
