VHF is something you hope you never actually NEED.
Tuesday, August 10, 2010
Buying a VHF Marine Radio for your boat or pontoon is, in many ways, like purchasing a life insurance policy. Nobody likes to spend money on something that they hope they will never use or need, but the reality of it all is that lives have been saved by early weather warnings issued 24/7 on the NOAA weather band on your marine radio which can give you sufficient warning to get your craft to a safe harbor if a fast moving weather front is detected by the national weather service. The US Coast Guard will broadcast warnings on channel 16 so always keep your ear tuned to this channel if you are in waters that may become perilous in the event of an incoming storm system. Happy Boater.
