Question: Can I use a land VHF radio in a boat ? Posted: 19 Aug 2015 09:13 AM PDT My opinion - in an emergency, anything goes that is not going to make things worse (like using a flare to report a forest fire). But given that radios are inexpensive nowadays, why not get a proper new marine one with DSC and AIS. It would be able to do automated position reporting, it would display the locations of other ships on a chartplotter, and it would be corrosion-resistant and probably float. (I don't know how well a regular set would stand up to the environment. I've got some things that seem to survive, but then the battery clips on a supposedly marine quality Minn-Kota trolling motor only lasted a couple of seasons) |
