Recommendations for Marine Communication
The frequencies your radio uses are set aside to enhance safety afloat and for
vessel navigation and operational messages over a range suitable for nearshore
voyages. If the 3 watt maximum output of your radio isn't sufficient for the
distances you travel from the coast, consider installing more powerful radio
equipment such as HF single side band or satellite radio for your vessel.
The coastguard does not endorse mobile phones as substitutes for
marine radios. They generally cannot communicate with rescue vessels and,
if you make a distress call on a mobile phone, only the party you call will
be able to hear you. Additionally, mobile phones may have limited coverage
over water and can be hard to locate. If you don't know where you are, the
coastguard will have difficulty finding you if you're using a mobile phone.
However, mobile phones can have a place on board where mobile coverage
is available — to allow social conversations and keep the marine frequencies
uncluttered and available for their intended uses.
