Handheld VHS Radio Question
Yes, another question about the marine radios.
I just picked a couple of these up. One for me one for a paddling partner. The purpose is to have a way to call for help should the circumstance arise and get weather reports. The instrucion manual came with a chart of channels and what they are to be used for but it seemed a bit arcane using abbreviations and then not providing a key to decipher them. My quesion is, if members of a group of kayakers or kayakers in separate groups within a couple miles or so of one another wish to communicate in order to naviagate to the same destination or to each other, is there a channel that such communication is appropriate in the US, more specifically on the Great Lakes (Lake Michigan)? Example: First group of kayakers launches in the morning and heads out to a particular destination. First group monitors channel ?? Second group launches in the afternoon and wishes to find First group by calling out on channel ?? Is this allowed? What channel is it OK to do on. It would be nice to be able to do this so as to avoid bringing a second set of radios or cellular phones. But if the frequencies are not meant to be used that way, then we will bring some FRS radios too. Thanks for reading this.
