Uniden MHS550 Radio Owner’s Manual
51
If you hear a distress call, wait a few minutes to let a shore
station or Coast Guard vessel respond. If no other station
has responded after 5 minutes, you must respond to the
distress call.
Do not make false mayday or distress calls as a prank or to
test your radio. (This is essentially like making a false 9-1-1
call; you may be subject to fines.)
