Reply to: Radio Checks

[quote=ericweller]Hi all, I haven't seen this topic discussed before but does anyone check their VHF radio before going out into the open water? It would be a bad day to need it and find out the radio isn't transmitting due to corrosion. SeaTow has an automated radio check system that uses channel 24, 26, 27 or 28 to test your VHF radio to make sure it transmits. You simply change to one of those channels and say something like "TEST, TEST RADIO CHECK CHANNEL XXX" and if your radio is transmitting, it will replay your chatter. Of course, this only guarantees that SeaTows towers can receive you and not the CG's but you at least know your radio transmits. Here is a link to the process [url]https://www.seatow.com/tools-and-education/automated-radio-check[/url] I hope that helps.[/quote]
