Basic radio guidelines

You should familiarize yourself with the rules on marine radios and

be aware of which rules apply to your boat. Complete guidelines

for all ship and marine radio types can be found at the US Coast

Guard website under the topic Radio Info for Boaters

(http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/marcomms/boater.htm). Here are a

few guidelines that affect nearly all boaters.

If you have a VHF radio on your boat, you must maintain

a watch on channel 16 (156.800 MHz) whenever the radio

is not being used to communicate. If you carry a radio, it

must be on and set to channel 16 whenever your boat is

underway.
