3.3 CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL
(
CHANNEL 16
)
Channel 16 should be used as the calling channel for initial contact with an-
other vessel, however its primary purpose is for emergency communications
and should be monitored at all times when not using other channels.
It is monitored by Coast Guard stations in all countries and other vessels.
The use of Channel 16 should be limited to making initial contact only. Calling
should not exceed 30 seconds, but may be repeated at 2 minute intervals.
Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this
manual and select an appropriate channel (working channel) for use after ini-
tial contact. Monitor the proposed channel to ensure you will not be interruptng
other traffic and then go back to Channel 16 to make your initial call.
When the calling chqannel 16 is clear, state the name of the vessel you wish to
call and then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel and your vessel
callsign. When the other vessel returns your call, immediately request another
channel by saying “go to”, the number of the other channel, and “over”. Then
switch to the new channel. When the new channel is not busy, call the other
vessel.
After a transmission, say “over”, and release the PTT (Push-To-Talk) switch.
When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the last trans-
mission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out”. Note that it is not neces-
sary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the beginning and
end of the contact.
Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some
radios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or
when scanning.
3.4 OPERATING ON CHANNEL 13
Channel 13 is used at docks, bridges and for maneuvering in port. Messages
on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in
restricted waters. In emergencies and when approaching blind river bends,
High power is allowed. Pressing the
[

( )]
key will change the power out-
put from Low Power (1 Watt) to Medium (2.5 Watts), High (5 Watts), or Normal
(6 Watts). When you change from this channel then return to it, low power will
be automatically selected.
