Re: Ch. 16 said by Time4aNAP:A good point. Still, that's no excuse to transmit from onshore.   I had to laugh.. Had a guy call in once on his marine radio. He was stranded on the side of the road, pulling his boat to the marina no doubt, and his truck broke down. He didn't call a Mayday or anything but called up on ch16, switch him over to Ch22A where he explained his situation. We called a tow truck and the sheriff for the guy. The point is, you expect something to work, it's best to test it before you need it. Just a suggestion. I seem to recall that the setup instructions I got from voiceeclipse said to test 911 service once I hooked up my system. |
