Actually the above should read:

They must be left OFF AND disconnected until there
is a real emergency.

In the USA, and for US Flagged Vessels, the FCC is the governing body,
and they have a policy, that any NONLICENSED Radio equipment, that is
connected to Power, and antenna, even if it is "Turned Off" is to be
considered "Operating as Unlicensed" when Commission Agents find them.
