I bought a Standard 350S vhf radio recently and would like to learn some general rules and guidelines about using it. What is the proper syntax when making a distress call? What kinds of talk goes on in the non-emergency (not 16) channels? If you want to talk to a nearby ship, what channel do you use? There are so many channels! Is there a short book, or a chapter in a book, that would answer these questions? The user's guide that came with my Standard 350S is of little use to a beginner. It assumes you already know the answers to my questions. PS: The unit survived a dunking in the sea fine. I lash a 2.5-inch section of swimmer's "noodle" to it to make it float. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Jun 29 2000 - 10:46:59 PDT
