[C38] vhf radio

Fri Aug 8 12:15:01 EDT 2008

Joe, I have found with mine you have to connect the cockpit hand held
before you turn power on. If power is on first it doesn't work
correctly. Hook it up then turn the radio on down stairs then the
cockpit hand held will work. Hope this works for you. I am a firm
beliver that you need a handset in the cockpit with a separate handheld
as  a back up as last week while delivering a 380 from Oakland to
Portland in bad seas we lost the main battery bank and then had to run
on the start battery while running in 40-45 kts of wind to our alternate
harbor. Having a back up vhf is critical and having a handset off your
main vhf in the cockpit is critical when you are driving and don't want
to go down into the washing machine. Also as a side note when I race or
am in the pacific we always wear lifjackets and harneses with dual clips
on the jack lines.

Joe and all, the woman in the Santa Barbara to King Harbor race
overboard
was something we should all think about.  I'm told they had a hand held
radio and the batteries went dead, DUH no on board radio????  As to your
cockpit radio, try this, go to the hardware store and get a little tube
of
conductive grease, put a small amount in the holes on the female end,
plug
in the radio and remove several times, you probably have some corrosion
there, we had to do this with ours once but be careful to use a very
small
amount, if you use too much you might short something out.

On a side note, we always monitor channel 16 when on the water, it's the
responsible thing to do and I do believe we are required to assist a
vessel
in distress if at all possible.  When racing we might, just might
monitor
the race channel if there is one but we have a hand held radio for that
as
well so it's possible to monitor two channels.

Best regards,

Joe: We have the cockpit remote for the VHF on Discreet Charm and had to
replace it recently. Sounds to me like some work with your plug
(corrosion?)
might be due. Monitoring 16 is a really good idea, dunno about
legalities.
Someone in the water would be a Pon-Pon, which we hear fairly frequently
in
SFB. I was sailing last week on Lake Michigan and heard several:
airplane
lost in the lake off Sheboigan , man overboard near Milwaukee, boat
without
a rudder in Indiana somewhere.  The man overboard was first broadcast by
the
vessel that lost the unfortunate person. Within a few minutes, the
Coastguard began repeating the broadcast, then canceled it when the guy
was
rescued. We never heard a cancellation for the lost aircraft or the boat
sans rudder. The woman in the water at King Harbor was muy lucky.
regards, Don

Hi,
    Two issues which are related.
          First, we have an extention radio in our cockpit. The kit
included
a 12 foot long cord with a male plug at the end which you could install
in
the side of your cockpit. We did. The radio is attached to a female plug
so
it can be easily removed. It is supposed to be able to change channel,
turn
on & off and all from the cockpit. One problem - we cannot get it to
work.
Everytime a mechanic looks at it he mates the two parts violently and it
works. is there a better way to do this?
    We feel the need for a radio in the cockpit we can hear while
racing. 
    I have a recollection of a "rule" that under way you are supposed to
monitor channel 16. 
What brings this up is the gal in the water without boat or flotation in
the
King harbor race. She was in the water 30 minutes and only picked up
because
a J37 skipper happened to go below and turn on the radio and hear the
M'aidez over channel 16. She was passed by 2 boats within `10 boat
lengths
who sailed by without seeing her. They did not see her because they were
not
looking. They were not looking because they had not heard the m'aidez
from
Channel 16.

    My question is, is the admonition to monitor channel 16 a rule, so
that
those in breach are negligent, or is it a suggestion like your father's
suggestion to avoid having anything to do with women who have more
problems
than you do. Not always followed. Joe
