You need to do a little more research......

Mick is in EUROPE, a couple of thousand miles out of the FCC's
jurisdiction, last time I checked.....

Should have made myself a little clearer. The private channel would be one
of the UK commercial marine channels.

Except the EU has a similar set of Rules inplace for Radio Type
Acceptance, and doing what he suggests, would violaate the EU Rules
as well....Larry, you should know this stuff........

Americans are all brainwashed to the Federal Communications Commission
being omnipotent, Mick. Are you sure it won't access that channel on its
International mode of channels? I have an older HX255S I resurrected from
the trash. It's my fav VHF walkie, now that it has massive Ni-Mh batteries
in it....(c;

On page 10 of the manual it says:

"4.5 USA, CANADIAN AND INTERNATIONAL MODES
1. To change the mode of the transceiver, hold down the 16/9 key and
press the WX key. The mode changes from USA, to International, to
Canadian with each press.
2. “USA” appears on the LCD for the USA mode, “INTL” appears for
International and “CAN” appears in Canadian mode.
3. Refer to marine channel charts in OWNER’S MANUAL
SUPPLEMENT for allocated channels in each mode."

Then, back in the channel charts it shows the channels the various modes
provide. It also states:

"4.15 SIMPLEX/DUPLEX CHANNEL USE
All channels are factory-programmed in accordance with FCC(USA),
Industry Canada and International regulations. Mode of operation cannot
be altered from simplex to duplex or vice-versa. Simplex or duplex mode
is
automatically activated, depending on the channel and whether USA,
International or Canadian operating mode is selected. Refer to the
channel
charts in the OWNER’S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT."

Which means it is what it is and can't be changed, I suppose....hard
wired programming.

As long as the licensee has the necessary authority to operate on the marine
channel in question then there is no violation of the regulations.
I picked up the HX350S up cheap on eBay and it is in mint condition with a
good battery and microphone. It is the intrinsically safe model and gives
excellent performance. If I program in the channel in question it will mean
just carrying the one handset.

I'm afraid not Larry, the channel in question is 49. I have also got a
Standard VM-3500E but just waiting for the programmer and software to do
that one. Might seem a bit over the top to get a programmer to do the one
set but as we are in a pretty remote area it would cost about half the price
of the programmer in postal charges to a dealer plus their charges on top.
I went out in the boat last night for the first time with the HX350S with me
and was very impressed with the sensitivity of the receiver. Far better than
my yaesu micromariner but that is getting rather long in the tooth.
