The main radio is mounted at the nav station
•
A wireless remote mic/speaker for use in the cockpit is
in a charging cradle in the cubby cabinet just aft of the
VHF mic. (The mic uses a wifi signal from the main VHF.
It works best to turn the main VHF on for a minute or
two before turning on the remote mic to let the wifi
signal start up and then the remote will connect
automatically to the network. If it does not power
down both units and try to connect again)

We recommend that you monitor Channel 16 during
your cruise. It is reserved for emergencies and boat-to-
boat initial contact. After contact, move to channels
68, 69, 72, 74 or 78. We listen to weather channels 1,
2, 3, 4 or 8 (whichever gives the best reception) before
we sail in the morning and prior to anchoring for the
evening. Listen for the reports identified as “Northern
Inland Waters”. San Juan Sailing monitors channel 80
during office hours (closed Sundays).
