Coast Guard aircraft to identify and find them quickly. The
satellites that receive and relay EPIRB signals are operated

(NOAA) in the United States. The EPIRB should be mounted
and registered according to the instructions provided with the

to quickly identify the boat and owner.
Marine Radio
A marine radio is the most effective method of receiving
information and requesting assistance. VHF marine radios
are used near shore and single sideband radios are used for
long range communication.
There are specific frequencies to use in an emergency. The
VHF emergency channel is 16 in the United States. You
should read the owners manual for your radio and know how
to use it in an emergency or for normal operation. If you hear
a distress call you should assist or monitor the situation until
help is provided.
