if your radio has a scan button you can punch in several channels and it will scan them and stop on that channel when someone is talking

I answer to many things like, "Hey, the blue boat that's catching all the fish!" signfishin

But "SuperDave" is my standard call name.

 

[onlychild]

so anyone decide on a KFF channel?

 

[SmokeOnTheWater]

Go back to post #36 or just monitor Channel 20. So, you got a handle?

radio

I carry an Icom hand held radio. As for wet, I store it in a zip-lock bag and when not in use, it is in a storage tub. It's nice to have for weather and good for emergencies.

great thread. The last two things I have to install in my boat is a vhf and the new i-pilot electric motor.(side note) which I'm glad I put off until now, looks like a sweet unit. anyway, lowe1648 how does that hand held unit work? I have a hand held cb, and it does't work worth beans inside a vehicle. I have been shopping for units and noticed hand helds only produce 5 watts of power and mount units transmit 25. question to all, is the hand held 5 watt'r enough for the gorge?

sorry for being late, I love to research for Ideas

if I could be added..

question to all, is the hand held 5 watt'r enough for the gorge?

Only if you want to talk to your fishing buddy in the boat next to you. If you have room for a mounted unit and an 8' antenna, you are strongly urged to go that direct over a hand held. For people that fish larger water, I do recommend the hand held as a back up but not a primary.

Working on a printable version of the Call Sign List. Limitations to size has me extremely confused! Hopefully by tomorrow? Sorry for the delay.

hand held vhf

To Brown Bagger- I don't use it often. all my calls are to freinds on the lake -I'm on None too large. The main use I put mine to is to keep track of the weather. Being from Michigan, I don't want storms sneeking up on me. Been there, done that. I can recieve the Coast Guard thirty mile inland. I can recieve weather stations anywhere, even in Yellowstone N.P.
Cell phone as back-up, also spotty. Never really needed help.

VHF Radio

Tortuga & I have a radio on board. We usually use 69 or sometimes 68 here in CA. Add us to your call list: Froggie & Tortuga! 40 days t'il we get to the Gorge, but who's counting LOL!!!
I LOVE the idea of setting aside Ch 20 for FG because 20 is my lucky number!!!
