Tym Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Try to get something thats "in stock and ships the same day!" is fun lately eh? My latest. Filed under: Dont you hate when this happens? I ordered a marine radio and i spoke to the most wonderful sounding southern girl working in Greer South Carolina. She was amazing and lied through her teeth so well i never complained it took a week longer to ship what she said she had in stock. Why complain she souded like a freaking southern bell for sure i could hear Jerry Springer re-runs playing in the background. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 A handheld VHF is alomost useless for you Tym. 3 feet is about the range you'll get I reckon. VHF is basically "Line of sight" communication, which is why its used at sea but not on land cos a tree or a house or a rise in the ground blocks the signal... or a wave crest. which is why boats and ships always have the antenna as high up as possible. I guess it's a 4w set too? a waterproof childs walkie talkie would be just as useful for less cash mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tym Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 One watt/3 watt/ 6 watt. Im crossing channels so im within feet of vessels @MooN, and its gets FM so i;ll have toons...lol This is a good example, ignore the wirlpools, harmless really and tons of fun....weeee Pedro said i was winded, the whole crossing vid was 5 minutes of full throttle fining and this was the King Tide coming into the channel. Not bad for a lung cancer screening test participant at almost 63. Is a farcle worth the money, never, so? Remember, im not married. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
