Using a handheld well
-
Treat it as your backup or portable radio. A handheld transmits at a few watts from a short antenna, so range is usually a few miles. On boats with a helm, pair it with a fixed-mount VHF and a properly mounted antenna.
-
Charge before every trip and keep it on your body or in reach, not buried in a locker.
-
Know your channels. Channel 16 for hailing and distress, the WX channels for NOAA weather. See the VHF channel guide.
