Bob et all...
Can you please tell me why a call might be missed on dual watch..supposing
that one of the monitored channels was the appropriate VTC freq.?
Would this be for a technical reason?
I recently purchased an Icom IC502 with a multi station Command Mic, which,
among other reasons, appealed to me bcause of the Tri watch capability.
I was looking at it as being added "insurance", because I'm a new boater, and
don't want to screw up.
I do however, intend to have two fixed radios on the bridge, with an Icom M1v
handheld there as well.
An additional fixed radio will also be in the PH....with the extra (full
function) bridge extension.
I thought I had myself covered....till I read your post!
I need to know what I don't know.
Cheers,Mark
