New Marine VHF Channel Assignments for Garmin® VHF radios

Because of the new ITU standards for VHF channel assignments, the current Garmin VHF lineup (VHF 210 | VHF 215 | VHF 315 | VHF 210 Garmin AIS™ marine radio | VHF 215 Garmin AIS™ marine radio) has adopted these new channel number and frequency assignments. An example of the US channel names, old vs new, can be found at the US coast guard website here: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=mtVhf

For example, what used to be Ch. 21A is now Ch 1021. The prefix channel number will be listed on the left hand side of the VHF's home screen when a sub channel is selected.
