as duplex on the charts, correct mode of operation is established auto-
matically by your radio when you select a channel; you cannot change
the mode. And you still must release the push-to-talk switch after each
transmission in order to listen to the radio.
5. Channels normally used by recreational boaters are those that include
the term “non-commercial” in the Channel Use column of the chart. Some
of these are shared with other users and some are used only in certain
geographic regions.
6. Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor
Channel 16.
