The Coast Guard Rescue 21 deployment has lagged beyond belief but you can buy
the same capability (well maybe not the antenna range) for a few hundred and
thereby fill in the holes the CG has.
So what's on your bulkhead? A 10 year old RayMarine VHF, mounted over the
stbd settee.
Is a GPS permanently tied to your radio? No
Is a Chart Plotter tied to your radio? No. Next radio might be. Don't look
forward to stringing the wiring down the binnacle to make it happen. We had
Rescue21 for a while. Now, we don't. If fact, the local Coast Guard station
is probably going to close due to budget cuts. They have already stopped
taking radio calls. The next station is 90 miles away and out of radio range.
Is the Autopilot tied to you Chart Plotter? No. Never saw the need. If
running the wires were convenient, I might, just for the novelty of it.
