My understanding is that for "voluntary" vessels (that is a vessel that chooses to have a VHF) it is required that you monitor ch 16 when the radio is on.

I use a tri-watch (scan) function and monitor 16 along with two "local" frequencies. I keep the volume down and the squelch up pretty high to avoid all the distant (irrelevant) chatter.

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
