My experience and Carlos' recent one prompted me to buy a marine
transceiver today. I got the new Apelco 520 which is supposedly
submersion rated and has a 5 watt transmit power mode. Also has big
backlighted display, and is fairly compact and light.
The question is - can I use this thing without a license? Bob Galvan
posted some info. on this subject about a year ago or so, but I've
misplaced it. Also, what is the emergency frequency, Kenneth? I think
it's channel 16, but do the Coasties prefer that you talk to them on
channel 22?
TIA.
