There are a lot of people who don't monitor Ch 16 and who are well aware that
they are supposed to.
Just try getting a commercial fishing vessel to respond some time.
May not be the same everywhere, but it is around here.

Russ,
You can call “me mates”, but you do it on Ch 70 (automatically) (instead of
Ch 16). This frees Ch 16 for everyone else. After you establish communication,
you move to a working channel, as normal.
The radio always watches Ch 70 (even if you don’t), so you don’t need to
worry about it. You should watch Ch 16, as usual, though there are discussions
about getting rid of that requirement (assuming that everyone has a DSC radio).

Hi David,
thanks for the info, looks like I got some reading to do or I could just ask
the list... :)
I thought to the DSC function was for ringing me mates on 16 (ring only their
radio) and then we go to a working channel in the normal fashion.
So if I have DSC enabled does the radio need to be on dual watch?
Maybe this is the year I get my number and configure the radio but then I'll
have to find some friends too. :)
Cheers, Russ
